CVE-2026-72110NVD

Vulnerability Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf,fork: wipe ->bpf_storage before bailouts that access it

Currently, copy_process() can bail out to free_task() before p->bpf_storage
has been initialized, with this call graph (shown here for the
!CONFIG_MEMCG case):

copy_process
dup_task_struct
arch_dup_task_struct
[copies the entire task_struct, including ->bpf_storage member]
[RLIMIT_NPROC check fails]
delayed_free_task
free_task
bpf_task_storage_free
rcu_dereference(task->bpf_storage)
bpf_local_storage_destroy

In this case, the nascent task's ->bpf_storage member that
bpf_local_storage_destroy() operates on is a plain copy of the parent's
->bpf_storage pointer, not a real initialized pointer.
This leads to badness (kernel hangs, UAF).

This is reachable as long as the process calling fork() has been inserted
into a task storage map.
