Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: futex: Use correct exit on failure from futex_hash_allocate_default() copy_process() uses the wrong error exit path from futex_hash_allocate_default(). After exiting from futex_hash_allocate_default(), neither tasklist_lock nor siglock has been acquired. The exit label bad_fork_core_free unlocks both of these locks which is wrong. The next exit label, bad_fork_cancel_cgroup, is the correct exit. sched_cgroup_fork() did not allocate any resources that need to freed. Use bad_fork_cancel_cgroup on error exit from futex_hash_allocate_default().
