A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. This issue occurs due to a failure mitigating the Spectre-BTI attack (using the kernel API), as IBPB is not issued during the syscall until the next schedule, leaving the system vulnerable.
Mitigation
For user-mode applications, a usleep after the prctl call will force a reschedule and ensure the correct mitigation.
