CVE-2026-72385

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing/fprobe: Fix NULL pointer dereference in fprobe_fgraph_entry() fprobe_fgraph_entry() sizes a shadow-stack reservation in one walk of the per-ip fprobe list and fills it in a second walk, both under rcu_read_lock() only. A fprobe registered on an already-live ip can become visible between the two walks, so the fill walk processes an exit_handler the sizing walk did not count and used runs past reserved_words. If the sizing walk counted nothing, fgraph_data is NULL and the first write_fprobe_header() faults: Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address ...
