Overview

CVE-2026-93125 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 17, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

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

bpf: Reject rdonly/rdwr_buf_size kfunc arguments that exceed u32 max

check_kfunc_args() detects a kfunc argument named rdonly_buf_size or

rdwr_buf_size and stores reg->var_off.value into meta->r0_size, a u64,

and does not bound it. check_kfunc_call() later copies that value into

the returned register's mem_size field:

meta->r0_size = reg->var_off.value;

...

regs[BPF_REG_0].mem_size = meta.r0_size;

regs[BPF_REG_0].mem_size is u32. A constant whose upper 32 bits are set

gets truncated instead of causing a load-time rejection, so the verifier

records a PTR_TO_MEM register with an approximately 4 GiB mem_size for

whatever allocation the kfunc returned. A later access check against

that register uses the truncated, wrong bound.

Reject rdonly_buf_size/rdwr_buf_size values that exceed U32_MAX at the

point meta->r0_size is set.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-93125?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-93125 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.
