CVE-2026-53346 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rust: arm64: set uwtable llvm module flag for CONFIG_UNWIND_TABLES Due to a rustc bug [1] the -Cforce-unwind-tables=y flag only emits the uwtable annotation for functions, but not for the module. This means that compiler-generated functions such as 'asan.module_ctor' do not receive the uwtable annotation. When CONFIG_UNWIND_PATCH_PAC_INTO_SCS is enabled, this leads to boot failures because the dwarf information emitted for the kasan constructors is wrong, which causes the SCS boot patching code to patch the constructor in an illegal manner. Specifically, the paciasp instruction is patched, but the autiasp instruction is not. This mismatch leads to a crash when the constructor is called during boot. ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in do_basic_setup+0x4c/0x90 Read of size 8 at addr ffffffe3cc7eb488 by task swapper/0/1 Specifically the faulting instruction is the (*fn)() to invoke the constructor in do_ctors() of the init/main.c file. Once the fix lands in rustc, this flag can be made conditional on the rustc version. Note that passing the flag on a rustc with the fix present has no effect. [ The fix [1] has landed for Rust 1.98.0 (expected release on 2026-08-20). Thus add a version check as discussed. - Miguel ] [ Adjusted link and comment. - Miguel ]
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's handling of unwinding tables for ARM64 architecture has been identified and resolved. This issue arose from a bug in the Rust compiler, which caused the 'force-unwind-tables' flag to only apply to individual functions rather than the entire module. As a result, certain compiler-generated functions did not receive the necessary unwinding table annotations. When the 'UNWIND_PATCH_PAC_INTO_SCS' configuration is enabled, this oversight leads to boot failures. The incorrect DWARF information for KASAN (Kernel Address Sanitizer) constructors causes a mismatch in the patching process, specifically by improperly handling critical instructions. This discrepancy results in a crash during the boot process when the constructor is invoked.
Users can upgrade to Linux kernel versions that include the fix for this vulnerability, which is available in the official Linux kernel repository. The fix involves adding a version check to ensure that the 'force-unwind-tables' flag is only applied when using a compatible version of the Rust compiler.
