Subject: CVE-2026-89905: LoongArch: BPF: Move arena register slot below TCC context
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 11:30:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026091639-CVE-2026-89905-efb3@gregkh> (raw)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LoongArch: BPF: Move arena register slot below TCC context
Currently, the stack layout places the optional arena register slot
above the tail call counter context. When arena_vm_start is dynamically
enabled, it shifts the relative offset of the tcc_ptr slot within the
stack frame, causing hardcoded tracking macros to mismatch and leading
to memory misalignment or corruption potentially.
To fix this, move the arena register save and restore sequences below
the tail call counter context slots in both build_prologue() and the
epilogue.
Update __build_epilogue() to insert a proper offset decrement to safely
skip the unneeded tcc_ptr reading block while accurately aligning with
the relocated arena slot at the very bottom.
With this patch, the tcc_ptr slot is always positioned at a fixed
distance directly underneath the base callee-saved registers that is
independent of whether the arena features are on.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-89905 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
