Score 7.8 from GitHub Security Advisory (severity: HIGH) published 2026-03-20. NVD baseline CVSS 7.8; sources differ by 0.0.
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf: Fix __perf_event_overflow() vs perf_remove_from_context() race
Make sure that __perf_event_overflow() runs with IRQs disabled for all possible callchains. Specifically the software events can end up running it with only preemption disabled.
This opens up a race vs perf_event_exit_event() and friends that will go and free various things the overflow path expects to be present, like the BPF program.
