PRESERVE_FD\nis only applicable to outgoing sessions. RETRIEVE_FD and FINISH are only\nvalid for incoming session. Calling a incoming ioctl on an outgoing\nsession is invalid and can cause file handlers to run into unexpected\nerrors.\n\nFor example, a user can create a (outgoing) session, preserve a memfd,\nand then immediately do a retrieve without doing a kexec in between.\nThis would result in memfd's retrieve handler to run. The handlers\nexpects to be called from a post-kexec context, and will try to do a\nkho_restore_vmalloc() or kho_restore_folio() to try and restore memory.\n\nKHO catches this (thanks to KHO_PAGE_MAGIC) and returns an error, but\nsince this is considered an internal error and KHO throws out a bunch of\nWARN()s.\n\nAssociate a type with each ioctl op and validate the type in\nluo_session_ioctl() before dispatching the ioctl handler to make sure\nthe op is being called for the right session type.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3dc8a46d08a8a060d4128e9f497060b8d03c1595","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/507e3b479f9c6d85135eb5e1a77fb3fddb259ad8"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:48:17.459049833+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-68455","score":0.00155,"percentile":0.04655,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
