CVE-2026-31574
Estado: AnalizadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clockevents: Add missing resets of the next_event_forced flag
The prevention mechanism against timer interrupt starvation missed to reset the next_event_forced flag in a couple of places:
That led to stalls which have been reported by several people.
Add the missing resets, which fixes the problems for the reporters.
Detalles técnicos trazas, registros y código del informe original
- When the clock event state changes. That can cause the flag to be
stale over a shutdown/startup sequence
- When a non-forced event is armed, which then prevents rearming before
that event. If that event is far out in the future this will cause
missed timer interrupts.
- In the suspend wakeup handler.CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
