    Action Type Old Value New Value
    Added Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    bpf: Send signals asynchronously if !preemptible

    BPF programs can execute in all kinds of contexts and when a program
    running in a non-preemptible context uses the bpf_send_signal() kfunc,
    it will cause issues because this kfunc can sleep.
    Change `irqs_disabled()` to `!preemptible()`.
