CVE-2026-97587. It is not in the current CISA KEV record we collected. That does not prove exploitation has not occurred.
Release Notes
Vendor-listed releases
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf: RISC-V: store available counter mask as bitmap
The available-counter mask was a single unsigned long, but iteration uses RISCV_MAX_COUNTERS, which is 64. On RV32 that reads past the object.
Filling with an unsigned-long bit at index 32 and above is also wrong.
Use DECLARE_BITMAP and set_bit/bitmap helpers. Walk each bitmap word into CFG_MATCH when checking events, when allocating an index, and when stopping all counters.
Set the counter base to i times BITS_PER_LONG. Share the CFG_MATCH ecall through a small helper so the 32-bit argument split is not duplicated.
On qemu-system-riscv32 the probe bitmap has bits above XLEN set, so the first word alone is not enough.
