CVE-2026-90347
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: ptrace: Keep 'orig_x0' in-sync with x0 on syscall entry
Commit e057b9477232 ('arm64: syscall: Ensure saved x0 is kept in-sync
with tracer updates') attempted to resolve a long-standing issue with
syscall entry tracing, where a tracer is able to manipulate the first
syscall argument without being subjected to seccomp or audit checking.
Unfortunately, that fix was incomplete [1], as it failed to update
'orig_x0' between a tracer updating x0 during a seccomp ptrace exit
(SECCOMP_RET_TRACE) and the seccomp filter being re-evaluated.
Rather than add hooks to the core seccomp code, instead move the
synchronisation code into the ptrace GPR and syscall setting code so
that 'orig_x0' is kept up to date with x0 whenever we're stopped on the
syscall entry path.
