{"id":"AZL-109412","summary":"CVE-2026-98599 affecting package kernel 6.6.157.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbpf: Reject non-negative offsets in stack_slot_obj_get_spi()\n\nbpf_get_spi() computes (-off - 1) / BPF_REG_SIZE using C division,\nwhich truncates toward zero. For off == 0, this produces spi 0, the\nsame index used by the valid stack slot at fp-8.\n\nstack_slot_obj_get_spi() currently checks alignment and the resulting\nspi bounds, but does not reject the non-negative offset itself. It can\ntherefore validate a PTR_TO_STACK register holding fp+0 against an\niterator stored at fp-8 even though the runtime receives the actual fp+0\npointer. An effectful iterator kfunc can then interpret memory outside\nthe BPF stack as iterator state.\n\nReject non-negative offsets before converting the offset to an spi. All\nvalid stack objects begin at a negative offset from the frame pointer.","modified":"2026-10-20T05:35:13Z","published":"2026-10-18T16:17:12Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-98599"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-98599"}],"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-109412.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
