Title
sched/rt: Fix race in push_rt_task
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched/rt: Fix race in push_rt_task Overview ======== When a CPU chooses to call push_rt_task and picks a task to push to another CPU's runqueue then it will call find_lock_lowest_rq method which would take a double lock on both CPUs' runqueues. If one of the locks aren't readily available, it may lead to dropping the current runqueue lock and reacquiring both the locks at once. During this window it is possible that the task is already migrated and is running on some other CPU. These cases are already handled. However, if the task is migrated and has already been executed and another CPU is now trying to wake it up (ttwu) such that it is queued again on the runqeue (on_rq is 1) and also if the task was run by the same CPU, then the current checks will pass even though the task was migrated out and is no longer in the pushable tasks list. Crashes ======= This bug resulted in quite a few flavors of crashes triggering kernel panics with various crash signatures such as assert failures, page faults, null pointer dereferences, and queue corruption errors all coming from scheduler itself. Some of the crashes: -> kernel BUG at kernel/sched/rt.c:1616!

There is no network-facing entry point.\nAC:L - Although this is a multi-CPU race, the attacker controls every participant \u2014 spawning RT threads, setting affinity masks to force rq overload and push_rt_task, generating rq-lock contention to widen the double_lock_balance window, and driving the dequeue/wakeup interleaving with tight futex loops \u2014 and can retry indefinitely; the commit notes it fires spontaneously under mere ordinary production load.\nPR:L - An unprivileged local account suffices in realistic deployments, since RLIMIT_RTPRIO is commonly granted to normal users (rtkit-daemon on desktop distros, audio group limits.conf, Android audio threads, container/systemd LimitRTPRIO), and on PREEMPT_RT systems the multi-CPU-affine RT IRQ threads can be driven by plain unprivileged I/O with no RT privilege at all.\nUI:N - The race is triggered entirely by the attacker\u0027s own thread activity and scheduler load; no victim action or interaction of any kind is required.\nS:U - The corruption is confined to kernel scheduler data structures within the same security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The unlocked cross-runqueue dequeue corrupts Y\u0027s plist and prio-array lists and desyncs its counters, so pick_next_rt_entity() type-confuses a list head into a struct sched_rt_entity and the scheduler reads an attacker-shapeable fake task_struct, yielding a kernel memory disclosure/read primitive.\nI:H - Concurrent unsynchronized list_del_init()/plist_del() on a runqueue whose lock is not held is a classic linked-list unlink write primitive, and the resulting bogus task_struct is written to and context-switched into, giving heap-shaping attackers a path to arbitrary write and control-flow hijack.\nA:H - The commit documents repeated kernel panics from this bug \u2014 BUG_ON(idx \u003e= MAX_RT_PRIO), BUG_ON(!rq-\u003enr_running), BUG_ON(rq-\u003ecpu != task_cpu(p)), NULL pointer dereferences, and kernel page faults \u2014 each a full system crash."
