Description
CVE-2026-90313 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's BPF cgroup attachment logic. It involves invalid storage access occurring when replacing a cgroup BPF program in multi-attach mode fails midway. This leads to dangling pointers and potential invalid memory access when the original program executes and accesses local storage. The issue is fixed by properly restoring storage and flags on error during attachment.
