Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description:
The Linux kernel contains a flaw within the rcutorture functionality. Specifically, the
rcutorture one extend check() function exhibited a splat in kernels built with CONFIG PREEMPT RT=y when running rcutorture tests. This issue stemmed from an incorrect check for disabled bottom halves (BH) in RT kernels, leading to inaccurate preempt count() values. The fix involves utilizing softirq count() to correctly determine if BH is disabled.Recommendations:
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
