Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description:
A race condition in the Linux kernel's scheduler can cause crashes, including kernel panics with various crash signatures such as assert failures, page faults, null pointer dereferences, and queue corruption errors. This issue occurs when a CPU chooses to call push rt task and picks a task to push to another CPU's runqueue, potentially leading to dropping the current runqueue lock and reacquiring both locks at once. If the task is migrated and has already been executed, and another CPU is trying to wake it up, the current checks may pass even though the task was migrated out and is no longer in the pushable tasks list.
Recommendations:
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
