Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-07-25 10:17 - Updated: 2026-07-25 10:17
Severity
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
proc: protect ptrace_may_access() with exec_update_lock (part 1)
Fix the easy cases where procfs currently calls ptrace_may_access() without
exec_update_lock protection, where the fix is to simply add the extra lock
or use mm_access():
- do_task_stat(): grab exec_update_lock
- proc_pid_wchan(): grab exec_update_lock
- proc_map_files_lookup(): use mm_access() instead of get_task_mm()
- proc_map_files_readdir(): use mm_access() instead of get_task_mm()
- proc_ns_get_link(): grab exec_update_lock
- proc_ns_readlink(): grab exec_update_lock
