Description
CVE-2026-93147 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's s390 BPF implementation. It involves improper handling of a 32-bit cpu_nr value loaded into a 64-bit register, where the 'ly' instruction fails to zero upper bits, unlike the corrected 'llgf' instruction. This flaw has been fixed in specific Linux kernel commits.
