Subject: CVE-2026-98787: bpf: Fix missing migration protection in __rhtab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch()
Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2026 17:46:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026101822-CVE-2026-98787-08be@gregkh> (raw)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix missing migration protection in __rhtab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch()
bpf_mem_cache_free_rcu() uses this_cpu_ptr() which requires migration
to be disabled. All callers of rhtab_delete_elem() disable migration
except __rhtab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch(), which calls it under
rcu_read_lock() only.
On CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU, rcu_read_lock() does not disable preemption or
migration, so the task can migrate between CPUs during the delete loop,
causing this_cpu_ptr() to trigger:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code
Fix by wrapping the delete loop in migrate_disable()/migrate_enable()
in __rhtab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch(), matching the migration
protection that the other callers already provide.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-98787 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:
