Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 0/2] sched/psi: fix race in pressure_write (CVE-2026-52991)
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 16:32:43 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260715083245.32115-1-lulie@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
Backport of the CVE-2026-52991 fix.
1/2 (94a4acfec146) clear of->priv on release, turning the UAF into an
easier-to-detect NULL deref.
2/2 (a5b98009f16d, the CVE fix) extend cgroup_mutex to cover all
of->priv accesses, read ctx after taking the kn lock, and NULL-check
of->priv. It depends on 1/2 as discussed in [0].
