kernel: futex/requeue: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in remove_waiter() on self-deadlock

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's futex Fast Userspace Mutex requeue mechanism. When a non-top waiter attempts to requeue a Priority Inheritance PI futex it already owns, a NULL pointer dereference can occur. This issue, specifically within the removewaiter function during a self-deadlock...

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...
