CVE-2026-45683: OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation: Java TLS ioctl kprobe allows kernel memory disclosure

May 18, 2026 (updated June 9, 2026)

The Java TLS ioctl probe reads user-controlled ioctl pointers with bpf_probe_read instead of bpf_probe_read_user. An instrumented local process can therefore point OBI at kernel memory and cause that memory to be copied into telemetry.
