CVE-2026-45838 is a Linux kernel BPF vulnerability in cgroup_storage_get_next_key() caused by incorrect end-of-list detection. The code used list_next_entry() and then checked the result against NULL, but list_next_entry() does not return NULL when the current element is the last entry; it wraps to the list head via container_of(). As a result, the NULL check was ineffective dead code. When iteration reached the final element, the function failed to return -ENOENT and instead dereferenced a bogus pointer, reading storage->key from memory aliasing internal map fields and copying that value to userspace.
