CVE-2026-46259
procfs: fix missing RCU protection when reading real_parent in do_task_stat()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
procfs: fix missing RCU protection when reading real_parent in do_task_stat()
When reading /proc/[pid]/stat, do_task_stat() accesses task->real_parent
without proper RCU protection, which leads to:
cpu 0 cpu 1
----- -----
do_task_stat
var = task->real_parent
release_task
call_rcu(delayed_put_task_struct)
task_tgid_nr_ns(var)
rcu_read_lock <--- Too late to protect task->real_parent!
task_pid_ptr <--- UAF!
rcu_read_unlock
This patch uses task_ppid_nr_ns() instead of task_tgid_nr_ns() to add
proper RCU protection for accessing task->real_parent.
