Overview

CVE-2026-90300 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 17, 2026.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Clear buf on error in __bpf_get_task_stack

Both bpf_get_task_stack and bpf_get_task_stack_sleepable helpers that

use __bpf_get_task_stack have buf defined as ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM

argument and we should initialize the buf on every return path.

Adding missing buf memset for __bpf_get_task_stack fail paths. This

provides deterministic buffer contents, which is useful when the buffer

is used directly as a map key.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-90300?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-90300 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
