CVE-2026-93137CVE-2026-93137
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix use-after-free on mm_struct in bpf_find_vma()
bpf_find_vma() reads task->mm and calls mmap_read_trylock(mm) without
holding a reference on the mm. On a foreign task, a concurrent exit_mm()
can free the mm_struct between the lockless read and the trylock,
resulting in a use-after-free. mm_struct is not SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU.
For the current task, task->mm is stable. For a foreign task, pin the mm
under task->alloc_lock and release it with mmput_async(), mirroring commit
d8e27d2d22b6 ("bpf: fix mm lifecycle in open-coded task_vma iterator").
Use spin_trylock() instead of get_task_mm() so BPF context does not block
on alloc_lock. Reject irqs-disabled contexts and !CONFIG_MMU on the
foreign-task path because dropping the mm reference is not safe there.
Race:
CPU0 (BPF program) CPU1 (exiting task)
