CVE-2026-53166

The CVE-2026-53166 issue concerns the Linux kernel futex (Fast Userspace Mutex) requeue path, where a non-top waiter that already owns a PI futex could trigger a NULL pointer dereference in remove_waiter() during self-deadlock, causing a kernel crash/DoS. Public sources describe the vulnerability...

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 ...
