Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The Linux kernel's arm64 ptrace code can leave the saved 'orig_x0' value out of sync with x0 during syscall entry, so a tracer's change to the first syscall argument is not seen by seccomp filtering. The source gives few details about the exact impact or who can trigger it. The affected range runs from commit a5cd110cb836 up to several fixed commits, and the fix is listed for 4.8 and later stable branches, including 6.1.191, 6.6.160, 6.12.114 and 6.18.57. Upgrade to a fixed stable kernel release for your branch.
