      <title>CVE-2026-99158 — ring-buffer: Fix false warning in ring_buffer_map_get_reader()</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2026-99158</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;ring-buffer: Fix false warning in ring_buffer_map_get_reader()&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The mmap reader can warn when it catches up with a writer that is still
committing events. rb_get_reader_page() returns NULL in this case, but
ring_buffer_map_get_reader() treats that result as an error.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The initial rb_per_cpu_empty() check filters out an empty buffer, but it
does not guarantee that the next reader page has committed data. Writers
do not take reader_lock and can advance commit_page before publishing the
committed length on the new page. rb_get_reader_page() can swap to that
page, catch up with the writer and return NULL.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Handle NULL through the existing no-data exit without warning. Remove the
caller&amp;#39;s reader_page == commit_page check as well, since the reader-page
helper already handles that case. The existing metadata update and return
path remain in place.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
