Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-17 17:46:30 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Zero queue and stack outputs on lock failure

Queue and stack pop/peek helpers accept an uninitialized output buffer
because the verifier expects the helper to initialize it. The empty-map
error path clears the buffer, but a failed lock acquisition returns
-EBUSY without writing it.

Clear the output before returning -EBUSY so BPF programs cannot observe
uninitialized stack contents after a failed helper call.
