- Summary
- A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's memory cgroup (memcg) list_lru component. A race condition occurs during the reparenting of list_lru entries when an xarray entry is cleared before its associated lists are fully reparented. This allows concurrent operations to modify list pointers under different locks, leading to memory corruption. This corruption can result in system instability or a denial of service (DoS).
- Remediation
- For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect. Red Hat recommends treating all kernel errata as security-relevant. Given the kernel's fundamental role, any bug has a higher chance of impacting system security, even if that impact only becomes clear after a fix is published. Therefore, Red Hat prioritizes delivering fixes that improve our customers' overall security posture. Because of this proactive approach, a patch may be associated with a CVE assignment at a future date. Retroactive CVE assignments are always documented in the corresponding errata and on Red Hat's CVE pages. We strongly advise against delaying updates, as doing so may leave your system exposed when protections are already available.
