CVE-2026-72357: uprobes/x86: Use proper mm_struct in __in_uprobe_trampoline

HighCVSS 7.8 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.17% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 169328645663bae30e9abad4012d52441e085a71, 1acddd3e22dd6912dd5d54f80462405a1f1e6bae, c9170c83b0e0fc2065a4c2bca5bf1f90c5880156.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 169328645663bae30e9abad4012d52441e085a71, 1acddd3e22dd6912dd5d54f80462405a1f1e6bae, c9170c83b0e0fc2065a4c2bca5bf1f90c5880156 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: uprobes/x86: Use proper mm_struct in __in_uprobe_trampoline In the unregister path we use __in_uprobe_trampoline check with current->mm for the VMA lookup, which is wrong, because we are in the tracer context, not the traced process. Add mm_struct pointer argument to __in_uprobe_trampoline and changing related callers to pass proper mm_struct pointer.
