Subject: [LTP] [PATCH v4 0/2] Reproducer for ghostlock
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 14:40:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826-cve-ghostlock-v4-0-52ec94d6635f@suse.com> (raw)

Test for CVE-2026-43499 (GhostLock), a stack use-after-free in the
rtmutex PI code, fixed in kernel v7.1:
3bfdc63936dd ("rtmutex: Use waiter::task instead of current in remove_waiter()")

Reproducer based on the Nebula Security writeup and open-sourced PoC
(https://nebusec.ai/research/ionstack-part-2/, https://github.com/NebuSec/CyberMeowfia).
Beware, this test will crash the system on a vulnerable kernel.

Assisted by Kimi K3 for the analysis and written mostly with Gemini Pro
3.1 Max.
