kernel: futex: Drop CLONE_THREAD requirement for private default hash alloc

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's futex subsystem. The needfutexhashallocatedefault function incorrectly relies on CLONETHREAD semantics, which can lead to non-concurrency issues when memory allocations mm-futexref pcpu allocations are shared across CLONEVM clones, excluding vfork. This can...

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...
