Summary
CVE-2026-74720 affecting package kernel 6.6.150.1-1
Details

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

bpf: Preserve pointer state for commuted arithmetic

When scalar += pointer is handled in adjustptrminmaxvals(), the destination register inherits the pointer state from the source pointer. Copying only selected fields is fragile because pointer provenance is tracked by several bpfregstate fields.

Use the caller's temporary offset register to preserve the scalar operand while replacing the destination with the full pointer state. This preserves the frame number for PTRTOSTACK registers and keeps parent identity fields consistent.
