CVE-2026-53083 — bpf: Fix RCU stall in bpf_fd_array_map_clear()

Affected: Linux

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

bpf: Fix RCU stall in bpf_fd_array_map_clear()

Add a missing cond_resched() in bpf_fd_array_map_clear() loop.

For PROG_ARRAY maps with many entries this loop calls prog_array_map_poke_run() per entry which can be expensive, and without yielding this can cause RCU stalls under load:

It was discovered that some AMD Zen 2 processors did not properly isolate shared resources in the operation cache. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to corrupt instructions executed at a higher privilege level, resulting in privilege escalation. (CVE-2025-54518)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - PSP security protocol; - ARM64 architecture; - PowerPC architecture; - RISC-V architecture; - S390 architecture; - User-Mode Linux (UML); - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - Intel NPU Driver; - DRBD Distributed Replicated Block Device drivers; - Ublk userspace block driver; - Bluetooth drivers; - Bus devices; - Character device driver; - Clock framework and drivers; - CPU frequency scaling framework; - Hardware crypto device drivers; - EDAC drivers; - EFI core; - FWCTL subsystem; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - I3C subsystem; - InfiniBand drivers; - IOMMU subsystem; - Mailbox framework; - Multiple devices driver; - Media drivers; - NVIDIA Tegra memory controller driver; - MTD block device drivers; - Network drivers; - Ethernet bonding driver; - Mellanox network drivers; - Microsoft Azure Network Adapter (MANA) driver; - STMicroelectronics network drivers; - MediaTek network drivers; - NVME drivers; - PCI subsystem;…
