CVE-2026-53163
Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
locking/rtmutex: Skip remove_waiter() when waiter is not enqueued
syzbot triggered the following splat in remove_waiter() via FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI:
task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() does not arm the waiter upon deadlock detection, leaving waiter->task nil, where 3bfdc63936dd ("rtmutex: Use waiter::task instead of current in remove_waiter()") made this fatal.
Furthermore, rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock() should not be calling into remove_waiter() upon a successfully grabbing the rtmutex.
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
1a1fb985f2e2 ("futex: Handle early deadlock return correctly"), moved the remove_waiter() out of __rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock() (where 'ret' was only ever 0 or < 0) into the wrapper. Tighten this check to account for try_to_take_rt_mutex().
