Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

In the Linux kernel from 6.6, the BPF queue and stack pop and peek helpers return -EBUSY on a failed lock without clearing their output buffer. A BPF program calling these helpers can read uninitialized stack contents. Upgrade to 6.1.191, 6.6.160, 6.12.114, 6.18.52, or a later release in those series.

Written 12 Nov 2026.
