{"cve":"CVE-2026-74337","nvd":{"published":"2026-08-15T06:22:34.623","modified":"2026-08-17T06:19:28.157","status":"Received","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbpf: Fix NMI/tracepoint re-entry deadlock on lru locks\n\nNMI and tracepoint BPF programs can re-enter the per-CPU or global\nLRU lock that bpf_lru_pop_free()/push_free() already hold on the\nsame CPU, AA-deadlocking. Lockdep reports \"inconsistent\n{INITIAL USE} -> {IN-NMI}\" on &l->lock (syzbot c69a0a2c816716f1e0d5)\nand \"possible recursive locking detected\" on &loc_l->lock (syzbot\n18b26edb69b2e19f3b33).\n\nPrior trylock and rqspinlock based fixes (see links) were nacked\nbecause compromised on reliability.\n\nThis patch converts every LRU lock site to rqspinlock_t and adds a\nrecovery path for some failure windows to avoid node leaks.\n\nFailure recovery:\n\n - *_pop_free top-level: return NULL; prealloc_lru_pop() already\n   treats that as no-free-element (-ENOMEM).\n\n - Cross-CPU steal: skip the victim's locked loc_l, try next CPU.\n\n - Post-steal local lock fail: publish stolen node to lockless\n   per-CPU free_llist; next pop on this CPU picks it up.\n\n - push_free fail: mark node pending_free=1. __local_list_flush(),\n   __local_list_pop_pending() reclaim the node from pending_list.\n   __bpf_lru_list_shrink_inactive() reclaims the node from inactive\n   list. Nodes from active list are reclaimed by __bpf_lru_list_shrink()\n   or after __bpf_lru_list_rotate_active() demotes it to the inactive.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/440a2fdbb40608d55a7b11f2be53592a3785131d","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/89edbdfc5d0308cef57b71359331de5c4ddbf763","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8b0510cc3a4a000d4ed1a56cd96231f3d3ba94c5"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:48:17.459049833+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-74337","score":0.00206,"percentile":0.10754,"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).
