CVE-2024-41932

CVSS v3.1

5.5

Medium

VectorAV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description The issue is related to a warning condition in the Linux kernel's sched setaffinity function. This warning occurs when a per-task affinity assignment races with a cpuset update, resulting in the task affinity no longer being a subset of the cpuset. The warning is triggered when the cpuset mask has no overlap with the requested task affinity. This condition can be easily reproduced by setting up a specific scenario involving a cpuset cgroup and threads that switch cpuset cpus and set task affinity.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
