CVE-2026-31554 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Red Hat security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for RHEL:7.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bpftool package and not the bpftool package as distributed by RHEL.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
futex: Require sys_futex_requeue() to have identical flags
Nicholas reported that his LLM found it was possible to create a UaF when sys_futex_requeue() is used with different flags. The initial motivation for allowing different flags was the variable sized futex, but since that hasn't been merged (yet), simply mandate the flags are identical, as is the case for the old style sys_futex() requeue operations.
