CVE-2026-68286

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's drop_monitor component. On 32-bit architectures, a race condition can occur during the update of 64-bit statistics. If a nested interrupt happens on the same CPU while these statistics are being updated, it can lead to the corruption of internal sequence counters or the statistical values themselves. This data corruption could potentially impact system stability or lead to inaccurate monitoring information.

This issue affects drop_monitor on 32-bit architectures. u64_stats updates after re-enabling IRQs can race with nested interrupts and corrupt counters. Primarily affects 32-bit ARM/other 32-bit arches.
