CVE-2026-98059

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Mark sched_process_wait argument as nullable do_wait() passes wo->wo_pid to the sched_process_wait tracepoint. kernel_wait4() leaves wo_pid NULL for wait4(-1), and kernel_waitid_prepare() does likewise for waitid(P_ALL). btf_ctx_access() currently types argument 0 as PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_TRUSTED. Without PTR_MAYBE_NULL, the verifier accepts an unchecked dereference. Trusted pointer loads have no fault protection, so a wait for any child can then cause a NULL pointer dereference in JITed BPF code. Add sched_process_wait to raw_tp_null_args[] with argument 0 marked nullable. The verifier rejects an unchecked dereference while preserving access after the program checks the pointer for NULL.
