That results in several\nproblems:\n\n  1) the rbtree dequeue happens without waiter::task::pi_lock being held\n\n  2) the waiter task's pi_blocked_on state is not cleared, which leaves a\n     dangling pointer primed for UAF around.\n\n  3) rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain() operates on the wrong top priority waiter\n     task\n\nUse waiter::task instead of current in all related operations in\nremove_waiter() to cure those problems.\n\n[ tglx: Fixup rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain(), add a comment and amend the\n  \tchangelog ]"}],"metrics":[{"cvssV3_1":{"version":"3.1","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","baseScore":7.8,"baseSeverity":"HIGH"}}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["kernel/locking/rtmutex.c"],"versions":[{"version":"8161239a8bcce9ad6b537c04a1fa3b5c68bae693","lessThan":"d8cce4773c2b23d819baf5abedc62f7b430e8745","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"8161239a8bcce9ad6b537c04a1fa3b5c68bae693","lessThan":"8a1fc8d698ac5e5916e3082a0f74450d71f9611f","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"8161239a8bcce9ad6b537c04a1fa3b5c68bae693","lessThan":"6d52dfcb2a5db86e346cf51f8fcf2071b8085166","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"8161239a8bcce9ad6b537c04a1fa3b5c68bae693","lessThan":"3fb7394a837740770f0d6b4b30567e60786a63f2","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"8161239a8bcce9ad6b537c04a1fa3b5c68bae693","lessThan":"88614876370aac8ad1050ad785a4c095ba17ac11","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"8161239a8bcce9ad6b537c04a1fa3b5c68bae693","lessThan":"3bfdc63936dd4773109b7b8c280c0f3b5ae7d349","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["kernel/locking/rtmutex.c"],"versions":[{"version":"2.6.39","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"2.6.39","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.175","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.140","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.86","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.27","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.0.4","lessThanOrEqual":"7.0.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1-rc1","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.39","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.175"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.39","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.140"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.39","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.86"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.39","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.27"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.39","versionEndExcluding":"7.0.4"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.39","versionEndExcluding":"7.1-rc1"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d8cce4773c2b23d819baf5abedc62f7b430e8745"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8a1fc8d698ac5e5916e3082a0f74450d71f9611f"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6d52dfcb2a5db86e346cf51f8fcf2071b8085166"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3fb7394a837740770f0d6b4b30567e60786a63f2"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/88614876370aac8ad1050ad785a4c095ba17ac11"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3bfdc63936dd4773109b7b8c280c0f3b5ae7d349"}],"title":"rtmutex: Use waiter::task instead of current in remove_waiter()","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
