CVE-2026-99129

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel, a flaw in SELinux BPF token permission checks was fixed. Multiple lookups of the bpffs creator SID using the token's file descriptor could lead to TOCTOU issues if the user changed the token file descriptor passed into the kernel.

Risk Assessment

A local user could exploit a TOCTOU race to bypass SELinux permission checks for BPF operations, potentially violating the system security policy.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the SELinux BPF token fix. Reboot the system after updating.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: selinux: fix BPF token permission checks Avoid multiple lookups of the bpffs creator SID using the token's file descriptor when the same information can be found via the resolved path/dentry (in selinux_bpf_token_create()) or the token itself (in selinux_bpf_map_create() and selinux_bpf_prog_load()). Not only does this simplify the code, it avoids potential TOCTOU issues if the user changes the token file descriptor passed into the kernel.
