Resolving user-space\nbuild IDs may then call build_id_parse_file() and block on filesystem\nreads.\n\nNeither helper prototype sets might_sleep. Since prototype selection uses\nthe sleepability of the whole program, the verifier can still allow these\nhelpers from a non-sleepable region within that program, such as an\nexplicit RCU or preemption-disabled region. The task-stack helper can also\nbe called from a non-sleepable timer callback of a sleepable program.\n\nMark both faultable prototypes as sleepable. The existing helper context\ncheck then rejects these calls while continuing to allow them in genuinely\nsleepable contexts.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":3,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":2.8,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
