CVE-2024-26906 is an x86 Linux kernel memory-management flaw in which copy_from_kernel_nofault() permits an attempted read of the vsyscall page. A BPF program using bpf_probe_read_kernel() can invoke this path. Because the vsyscall address is not readable from kernel space, the access faults; page-fault handling treats the address as userspace, preventing the BPF fix-up from being applied and resulting in page_fault_oops() due to SMAP.
