CVE-2026-45927 is fixed in 23 products on 1 platform, first by ALAS2023-2026-1514, released March 30, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-45927 - Priority: Routine - CVSS: 4.7 (medium) - EPSS: 0.0009 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Mar 30, 2026 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Require frozen map for calculating map hash Currently, bpf_map_get_info_by_fd calculates and caches the hash of the map regardless of the map's frozen state. This leads to a TOCTOU bug where userspace can call BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD to cache the hash and then modify the map contents before freezing. Therefore, a trusted loader can be tricked into verifying the stale hash while loading the modified contents. Fix this by returning -EPERM if the map is not frozen when the hash is requested. This ensures the hash is only generated for the final, immutable state of the map. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | bpftool6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.15-14.217.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1514](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1514.md) | Mar 30, 2026 | | Linux | bpftool6.18-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.15-14.217.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1514](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1514.md) | Mar 30, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-livepatch-6.18.15-14.217 amzn 2023 | 1:1.0-0.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1514](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1514.md) | Mar 30, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.15-14.217.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1514](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1514.md) | Mar 30, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.15-14.217.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1514](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1514.md) | Mar 30, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-debuginfo-common-aarch64 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.15-14.217.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1514](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1514.md) | Mar 30, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-debuginfo-common-x86_64 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.15-14.217.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1514](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1514.md) | Mar 30, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-devel amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.15-14.217.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1514](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1514.md) | Mar 30, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-headers amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.15-14.217.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1514](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1514.md) | Mar 30, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-libbpf amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.15-14.217.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1514](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1514.md) | Mar 30, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-libbpf-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.15-14.217.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1514](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1514.md) | Mar 30, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-libbpf-devel amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.15-14.217.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1514](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1514.md) | Mar 30, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-libbpf-static amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.15-14.217.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1514](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1514.md) | Mar 30, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-modules-extra amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.15-14.217.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1514](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1514.md) | Mar 30, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-modules-extra-common amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.15-14.217.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1514](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1514.md) | Mar 30, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-tools amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.15-14.217.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1514](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1514.md) | Mar 30, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-tools-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.15-14.217.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1514](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1514.md) | Mar 30, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-tools-devel amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.15-14.217.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1514](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1514.md) | Mar 30, 2026 | | Linux | linux Debian 14 | 6.18.14-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2026-45927](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2026-45927.md) | May 27, 2026 | | Linux | perf6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.15-14.217.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1514](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1514.md) | Mar 30, 2026 | | Linux | perf6.18-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.15-14.217.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1514](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1514.md) | Mar 30, 2026 | | Linux | python3-perf6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.15-14.217.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1514](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1514.md) | Mar 30, 2026 | | Linux | python3-perf6.18-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.15-14.217.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1514](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1514.md) | Mar 30, 2026 | --- Data as of 2026-11-08T13:06:02Z UTC.
