Overview

CVE-2026-64507 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 25, 2026.

Technical description

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.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-64507?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-64507 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
