CVE-2026-53163

CVE-2026-53163 affects the Linux kernel rtmutex/futex path. The issue arises when task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() fails to arm the waiter on deadlock detection, leaving waiter->task nil, and the code path can reach remove_waiter() via rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock(). The root cause is tied to how the wa...

CVE-2026-52977

Concretely, CVE-2026-52977 affects the Linux kernel futex subsystem, specifically a race between wait-requeue-pi and requeue-PI that could cause a live lock on certain scheduling orders (notably UP). The issue arises when top waiters are handled while a signaled/timeout waiter is removing itself ...

CVE-2026-52973

Summary: CVE-2026-52973 relates to the Linux kernel futex subsystem. The issue arises from dropping the CLONE_THREAD requirement for private default futex hash allocation, because the function need_futex_hash_allocate_default() relied on strict pthread semantics. This misinteraction with CLONE_TH...
