CVE-2026-80777
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
futex/pi: Plug private futex exec() race
The check for private futexes whether the waiter's mm, which is stored in the futex_key and copied into the pi_state, is the same as the owner's mm is not sufficient for exec(). exec() has a gap where the mm check fails to give the correct answer:
Between #1 and #2 the check for the mm is wrong as that mm is about to be swapped out and eventually freed.
Plug this gap by:
From a futex point of view the task is dead after it finished the robust list cleanup up to the point where it sets the state to OK again.

2) Setting tsk::futex::exit_state to FUTEX_STATE_OK after
the mm has been switched.CVSS
