LIN1025-8680 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2026-23380

Created: Mar 26, 2026    Updated: Mar 31, 2026
Found In Version: 10.25.33.2
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 25
Component/s: Kernel

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  tracing: Fix WARN_ON in tracing_buffers_mmap_close  When a process forks, the child process copies the parent's VMAs but the user_mapped reference count is not incremented. As a result, when both the parent and child processes exit, tracing_buffers_mmap_close() is called twice. On the second call, user_mapped is already 0, causing the function to return -ENODEV and triggering a WARN_ON.  Normally, this isn't an issue as the memory is mapped with VM_DONTCOPY set. But this is only a hint, and the application can call madvise(MADVISE_DOFORK) which resets the VM_DONTCOPY flag. When the application does that, it can trigger this issue on fork.  Fix it by incrementing the user_mapped reference count without re-mapping the pages in the VMA's open callback.
