CVE-2026-64036: cgroup/rstat: validate cpu before css_rstat_cpu() access

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

cgroup/rstat: validate cpu before css_rstat_cpu() access

css_rstat_updated() is exposed as a BPF kfunc and accepts a
caller-provided cpu argument. The function uses cpu for per-cpu rstat
lookups without checking whether it refers to a valid possible CPU.

A BPF iter/cgroup program with CAP_BPF and CAP_PERFMON can pass an
invalid cpu value. On an unfixed UBSCAN_BOUNDS test kernel, cpu ==
0x7fffffff triggers:

  UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in kernel/cgroup/rstat.c:31:9
  index 2147483647 is out of range for type 'long unsigned int [64]'
  Call Trace:
    css_rstat_updated
    bpf_iter_run_prog
    cgroup_iter_seq_show
    bpf_seq_read

Add cpu validation to the BPF-facing css_rstat_updated() kfunc and
move the common implementation to __css_rstat_updated() for in-kernel
callers.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64036 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:
