CVE-2026-53083CVE-2026-53083
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix RCU stall in bpf_fd_array_map_clear()
Add a missing cond_resched() in bpf_fd_array_map_clear() loop.
For PROG_ARRAY maps with many entries this loop calls
prog_array_map_poke_run() per entry which can be expensive, and
without yielding this can cause RCU stalls under load:
rcu: Stack dump where RCU GP kthread last ran:
