From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> stable inclusion from stable-v6.6.99 commit 183bdb89af1b5193b1d1d9316986053b15ca6fa4 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/ICOXOV CVE: CVE-2025-38466 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit ba677dbe77af5ffe6204e0f3f547f3ba059c6302 ] Jann reports that uprobes can be used destructively when used in the middle of an instruction. The kernel only verifies there is a valid instruction at the requested offset, but due to variable instruction length cannot determine if this is an instruction as seen by the intended execution stream. Additionally, Mark Rutland notes that on architectures that mix data in the text segment (like arm64), a similar things can be done if the data word is 'mistaken' for an instruction. As such, require CAP_SYS_ADMIN for uprobes.
