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

perf/core: Check kernel access when kernel callchains are requested

perf_event_open() currently gates perf_allow_kernel() only on !attr.exclude_kernel.

However, users can still request kernel callchain collection with attr.exclude_callchain_kernel 0 even when attr.exclude_kernel 1. That still requires kernel profiling privilege, but the existing check does not enforce it.

Update the permission check to call perf_allow_kernel() when either kernel sampling is requested or kernel callchains are requested.

This keeps permission checks aligned with requested data and prevents unprivileged use of kernel callchain capture.

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.

Attack Technique

Information Disclosure MEDIUM

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
