Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-25 12:31 – Updated: 2026-08-19 18:32

Details

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

x86/bugs: Enable IBPB flush on BPF JIT allocation

Enable hardening against JIT spraying when Spectre-v2 mitigations are in use. Specifically, issue an IBPB flush on BPF JIT memory reuse. Skip enabling the IBPB flush if the BPF dispatcher is already using a retpoline sequence.

This hardening applies only when BPF-JIT is in use. Guard the enabling under CONFIG_BPF_JIT so that bugs.c still builds with CONFIG_BPF_JIT=n.
