Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) tracing mechanism. This vulnerability occurs when `tracing_multi` links are not properly managed, specifically when they fail to release resources after being attached alongside `fentry` links. This improper resource handling can lead to system instability or a denial of service (DoS) condition, impacting the availability of the system.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-17 19:03:50 UTC

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

bpf: Mark tracing_multi trampolines as ftrace managed

Since tracing_multi link does not set ftrace_managed, it would fail to
release the tracing_multi link when attaching tracing_multi link and
then attaching fentry link.

[    3.714215] WARNING: kernel/bpf/trampoline.c:1727 at bpf_trampoline_multi_detach+0x20b/0x240, CPU#1: test_progs/97

[    3.733170]  bpf_tracing_multi_link_release+0x14/0x30
[    3.733890]  bpf_link_free+0x58/0x130
[    3.734414]  bpf_link_release+0x23/0x30

Fix it by setting 'ftrace_managed = true' in register_fentry_multi().
