CVE-2024-26603 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in the Linux kernel x86 FPU signal-frame restore path. The code used the userspace-controlled xstate_size field in the XSAVE signal-frame software-reserved area to determine how much of the FPU buffer to fault in before executing XRSTOR. A local process can construct a sigreturn frame whose xstate_size is smaller than the state implied by its xfeatures bits, then unmap the portion of the FPU buffer that XRSTOR will subsequently access. The preliminary readability check succeeds for the attacker-supplied shorter size, but XRSTOR faults on the unmapped portion. Retrying this sequence causes an infinite fault-handling loop. The fix faults in the maximum buffer size XRSTOR may access, using the kernel-maintained fpstate user_size rather than userspace metadata.
