5th percentile - higher than 5% of all known CVEs

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the BPF mechanism for uprobe_multi data lacked an access_ok check before using __get_user, potentially allowing unauthorized access to user memory. The fix adds proper bounds checking.

Risk Assessment

Risk of unauthorized read of user memory by a privileged attacker, potentially leading to information disclosure or system integrity compromise.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel update containing the fix for CVE-2026-74258.
