Reproduced the LPE in 1h 56m on Linux 6.12.96 LTS. Also managed to get root on Pixel 10 with the latest 2026-07-05 security update. It was originally submitted by another researcher to Google KernelCTF as exp527 and should qualify for a $101,337 bounty. https://t.co/nq5tJdSiM1

IIRC, this was the last LTS and one of the two COS slots before Google changed kernelCTF's rules and removed the COS target. Under the new rules, this bug would worth $101,337. https://t.co/GU5IUdR7eb
