In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: LoongArch: BPF: No support of struct argument in trampoline programs The current implementation does not support struct argument. This causes a oops when running bpf selftest: $ ./test_progs -a tracing_struct Oops[#1]: CPU -1 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000000000000018, era == 9000000085bef268, ra == 90000000844f3938 rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: rcu: 1-...0: (19 ticks this GP) idle=1094/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=1380/1382 fqs=801 rcu: (detected by 0, t=5252 jiffies, g=1197, q=52 ncpus=4) Sending NMI from CPU 0 to CPUs 1: rcu: rcu_preempt kthread starved for 2495 jiffies! g1197 f0x0 RCU_GP_DOING_FQS(6) ->state=0x0 ->cpu=2 rcu: Unless rcu_preempt kthread gets sufficient CPU time, OOM is now expected behavior. rcu: RCU grace-period kthread stack dump: task:rcu_preempt state:I stack:0 pid:15 tgid:15 ppid:2 task_flags:0x208040 flags:0x00000800 Stack : 9000000100423e80 0000000000000402 0000000000000010 90000001003b0680 9000000085d88000 0000000000000000 0000000000000040 9000000087159350

What it means for a small business

Linux is on the computers, phones or browsers your team uses every day. Turn on automatic updates and restart: most of these fixes only take effect after a restart.

How likely is an attack? The Exploit Prediction Scoring System, run by FIRST (the global association of security response teams), puts the odds of this one being exploited in the next 30 days at 0.15%, higher than 4% of CVEs. That’s low, but low isn’t zero, and the odds jump the day someone publishes an exploit. Scored October 29, 2026, updated daily.

Check your own setup

Website check: reads what your site runs from the outside (WordPress version, plugins it can see, old server software) and matches it against this database.
Server check: what your web server says about itself, and whether that version has known flaws.
