Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched_ext: Fix incorrect autogroup migration detection
scx_move_task() is called from sched_move_task() and tells the BPF scheduler
that cgroup migration is being committed. sched_move_task() is used by both
cgroup and autogroup migrations and scx_move_task() tried to filter out
autogroup migrations by testing the destination cgroup and PF_EXITING but
this is not enough. In fact, without explicitly tagging the thread which is
doing the cgroup migration, there is no good way to tell apart
scx_move_task() invocations for racing migration to the root cgroup and an
autogroup migration.
This led to scx_move_task() incorrectly ignoring a migration from non-root
cgroup to an autogroup of the root cgroup triggering the following warning:
WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 1 at kernel/sched/ext.c:3725 scx_cgroup_can_attach+0x196/0x340
...
Call Trace:
<TASK>

Fix it by adding an argument to sched_move_task() that indicates whether the
moving is for a cgroup or autogroup migration. After the change,
scx_move_task() is called only for cgroup migrations and renamed to
scx_cgroup_move_task().

"value": "En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: sched_ext: Se corrige la detecci\u00f3n incorrecta de la migraci\u00f3n de autogrupos. scx_move_task() se llama desde sched_move_task() y le dice al programador BPF que se est\u00e1 confirmando la migraci\u00f3n de cgroup. sched_move_task() se usa tanto en las migraciones de cgroup como de autogrupos y scx_move_task() intent\u00f3 filtrar las migraciones de autogrupos probando el cgroup de destino y PF_EXITING, pero esto no es suficiente. De hecho, sin etiquetar expl\u00edcitamente el hilo que est\u00e1 realizando la migraci\u00f3n de cgroup, no hay una buena manera de diferenciar las invocaciones de scx_move_task() para la migraci\u00f3n de ejecuci\u00f3n al cgroup ra\u00edz y una migraci\u00f3n de autogrupo. Esto provoc\u00f3 que scx_move_task() ignorara incorrectamente una migraci\u00f3n desde un cgroup no ra\u00edz a un autogrupo del cgroup ra\u00edz, lo que activaba la siguiente advertencia: ADVERTENCIA: CPU: 7 PID: 1 en kernel/sched/ext.c:3725 scx_cgroup_can_attach+0x196/0x340 ...
