CVE-2026-74335

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

bpf: Fix NULL pointer dereference in bpf_task_from_vpid()

bpf_task_from_vpid() looks up a task in the pid namespace of the
current task, via find_task_by_vpid():

  find_task_by_vpid(vpid)
    find_task_by_pid_ns(vpid, task_active_pid_ns(current))
      find_pid_ns(nr, ns) -> idr_find(&ns->idr, nr)

cgroup_skb programs run in softirq, which may interrupt a task that is
itself in do_exit(). Once that task has passed
exit_notify() -> release_task() -> __unhash_process(), its thread_pid is
cleared, so task_active_pid_ns(current) returns NULL and find_pid_ns()
dereferences &NULL->idr:

Bail out when current has no pid namespace.
