Those values are zero and one respectively,\nand are not pointers. A tp_btf program can currently dereference either\nvalue and fault the kernel. In particular, signal_generate can run from\ntimer interrupt context, turning the fault into a kernel panic.\n\nRecord both tracepoints in raw_tp_null_args[] and mark argument one as\na non-pointer. This preserves scalar access to the cookie while rejecting\ndirect and helper-mediated pointer use. Merely marking it nullable would\nnot suffice because SEND_SIG_PRIV is nonzero."}], "lastModified": "2026-10-21T13:21:20.990", "configurations": [{"nodes": [{"negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "14EE4FDC-9A0F-4EFF-AFC6-AC3D89B541C1", "versionEndExcluding": "6.13", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12.6"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "5236373F-7C8D-4A67-8517-6076577CD65E", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.53", "versionStartIncluding": "6.13.1"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "19917B2D-B4B2-4416-A482-9C7C4929A921", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.7", "versionStartIncluding": "6.19"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.13:-:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "5A3F9505-6B98-4269-8B81-127E55A1BF00"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.13:rc3:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "DE491969-75AE-4A6B-9A58-8FC5AF98798F"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.13:rc4:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "93C0660D-7FB8-4FBA-892A-B064BA71E49E"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.13:rc5:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "034C36A6-C481-41F3-AE9A-D116E5BE6895"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.13:rc6:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "8AF9DC49-2085-4FFB-A7E3-73DFAFECC7F2"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.13:rc7:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "5DFCDFB8-4FD0-465A-9076-D813D78FE51B"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:7.3:rc1:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "11E35E1B-5DB4-4AB9-9706-CD73B799EADF"}], "operator": "OR"}]}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"}
