CVE-2026-43109
Published: May 7, 2026Last modified: June 2, 2026
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86: shadow stacks: proper error handling for mmap lock 김영민 reports that shstk_pop_sigframe() doesn't check for errors from mmap_read_lock_killable(), which is a silly oversight, and also shows that we haven't marked those functions with "__must_check", which would have immediately caught it. So let's fix both issues.
