CVE-2026-49424
Kernel stack disclosure in Linux compatibility layer
The Linux waitid() implementation translates a FreeBSD siginfo_t struct into a stack-declared Linux siginfo_t. It did not first zero the stack struct.
An unprivileged user may observe 104 bytes of uninitialized kernel stack data, which may contain sensitive information.
