{"id":"AZL-104613","summary":"CVE-2026-98085 affecting package kernel 6.6.157.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbpf: backtrack_insn(): Handle ld_{abs,ind} subprog exit edge\n\nNicholas Carlini reported a bug in precision backtracking mechanism\nfor BPF_LD | BPF_{IND,ABS} instructions. These instructions are\nmodelled as two branches:\n- fallthrough;\n- implicit exit from current subprogram.\n\nThe implicit exit case was not handled by the backtrack_insn()\nfunction. When backtracking such a path backtrack_insn() did not\ncall bt_subprog_enter(), which meant that backtracking continued\nmanipulating precision marks in a caller frame, while looking at\ninstructions in a callee frame.\n\nThis lead to segmentation faults during verification (see the\nselftest), or unsound state pruning.","modified":"2026-09-27T05:34:32Z","published":"2026-09-25T11:17:38Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-98085"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-98085"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"6.6.157.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-104613.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
