AI-suggested

A fix is available that replaces the ly instruction with llgf in the s390 BPF code. Users should upgrade to patched versions of the Linux kernel that include this fix. Specific affected versions are listed and should be updated accordingly.

Description

CVE-2026-93147 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's s390 BPF implementation. The issue arises because the ly instruction loads a 32-bit cpu_nr value into a 64-bit register without zeroing the upper bits, potentially causing incorrect behavior. This has been resolved by replacing the ly instruction with llgf, which correctly zeroes the upper bits. The vulnerability affects multiple specific Linux kernel versions, including several 4.15.x and 5.x releases.
