Tracker summary

CVE-2026-53166 severity moderate: SUSE including 12 source package names (cluster-md-kmp-default, dlm-kmp-default, …), 50 product×package rows across 9 product lines (SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.0, SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.1, … (9 product lines)): Known Not Affected 50.

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: futex/requeue: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in remove_waiter() on self-deadlock When FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI requeues a non-top waiter that already owns the target PI futex, task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() returns -EDEADLK before setting waiter->task. The subsequent remove_waiter() in rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock() dereferences the NULL waiter->task, causing a kernel crash. Add a self-deadlock check for non-top waiters before calling rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock(), analogous to the top-waiter check in futex_lock_pi_atomic().
