That said, a sleepable tracing prog is allowed to\nattach to a bpf prog target whose name has '__x64_'-alike prefix.\n\nFor example, a sleepable fentry prog attaches to a '__x64_sys_nop' XDP\nprog, and copies buffer from a user pointer with bpf_copy_from_user()\nhelper. After attaching the XDP prog to lo interface, the kernel BUG\ncould be triggered by 'ping -c 1 -W 1 127.0.0.1':\n\n[    3.460756] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/bpf/trampoline.c:1324\n\nFix it by disallowing sleepable prog always when its target\nbtf is not a kernel's btf.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/00244bdaa423d93f4571f3f6854378ce3365e524","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/976f1be72740cfbc351d3841fd21186dda3ea723"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:55:23.253742848+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-90299","score":0.00213,"percentile":0.11457,"date":"2026-10-25"},"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).
