CVE-2026-74335

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

bpf: Fix NULL pointer dereference in bpf_task_from_vpid()

bpf_task_from_vpid() looks up a task in the pid namespace of the

current task, via find_task_by_vpid():

find_task_by_vpid(vpid)

find_task_by_pid_ns(vpid, task_active_pid_ns(current))

find_pid_ns(nr, ns) -> idr_find(&ns->idr, nr)

cgroup_skb programs run in softirq, which may interrupt a task that is

itself in do_exit(). Once that task has passed

exit_notify() -> release_task() -> __unhash_process(), its thread_pid is

cleared, so task_active_pid_ns(current) returns NULL and find_pid_ns()

dereferences &NULL->idr:
