      <title>CVE-2026-98543 — bpf: fs/xattr: don't assume the inode is locked in path_unlink/path_rmdir</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2026-98543</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;bpf: fs/xattr: don&amp;#39;t assume the inode is locked in path_unlink/path_rmdir&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;bpf_lsm_has_d_inode_locked() makes the verifier rewrite
bpf_[set|remove]_dentry_xattr() to the _locked variants, which assume
that the caller already holds the inode&amp;#39;s i_rwsem.  The path_unlink and
path_rmdir hooks are listed, but security_path_unlink() and
security_path_rmdir() run before vfs_unlink()/vfs_rmdir() take the
victim inode&amp;#39;s i_rwsem, so a sleepable BPF LSM program attached to
either hook mutates the victim&amp;#39;s xattrs without the lock held.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Drop the two path hooks from d_inode_locked_hooks so that the verifier
keeps the locking bpf_[set|remove]_dentry_xattr() variants, which take
the lock themselves.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
