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

kprobes: Skip disarmed probes when checking optkprobe overlap

On x86, an optkprobe at A replaces five bytes with a jump. If a disabled probe B is at A+2, get_optimized_kprobe() stops at B when arming a new probe C at A+4. It leaves A optimized:

A A+1 A+2 A+3 A+4 A's jump | e9 | d0 | d1 | d2 | d3 | after C | e9 | d0 | d1 | d2 | cc |

The INT3 for C overwrites the last byte of A's jump displacement, so execution can jump to the wrong address. B can have prepared optinsns while disarmed, but has no jump to unoptimize.

Continue past disarmed and unprepared probes to find the active optimized probe before arming a probe in its jump.

What every action level means
Emergency Immediate action required. Criteria: CRITICAL + in CISA KEV (actively exploited) without patch, OR CRITICAL + EPSS > 30% without patch, OR CRITICAL + active threat signals without patch.
Act Now Prioritize within 24-48h. Criteria: in KEV with patch available, OR CRITICAL + public POC, OR HIGH + EPSS > 10%, OR CRITICAL + active threat, OR any CRITICAL severity.
This Week Schedule remediation this week. Criteria: HIGH severity (CVSS 7.0-8.9). Patch within normal change window.
This Month Plan within 30 days. Criteria: MEDIUM severity (CVSS 4.0-6.9), lower exploitation probability. Include in regular patch cycle.
Monitor Track and reassess. Criteria: LOW severity (CVSS 0.1-3.9), minimal exploitation risk. No immediate action needed.
