Oracle Linux: CVE-2025-68208: ELSA-2026-50006: Unbreakable Enterprise kernel security update (IMPORTANT)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: account for current allocated stack depth in widen_imprecise_scalars()
The usage pattern for widen_imprecise_scalars() looks as follows:
prev_st = find_prev_entry(env, ...);
queued_st = push_stack(...);
widen_imprecise_scalars(env, prev_st, queued_st);
Where prev_st is an ancestor of the queued_st in the explored states
tree. This ancestor is not guaranteed to have same allocated stack
depth as queued_st. E.g. in the following case:
def main():
for i in 1..2:
foo(i) // same callsite, differnt param
def foo(i):
if i == 1:
use 128 bytes of stack
iterator based loop
Here, for a second 'foo' call prev_st->allocated_stack is 128,
while queued_st->allocated_stack is much smaller.
widen_imprecise_scalars() needs to take this into account and avoid
accessing bpf_verifier_state->frame[*]->stack out of bounds.
