CVE-2024-49926
Linux Kernel rcu-tasks RCE Privilege Escalation
Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rcu-tasks: Fix access non-existent percpu rtpcp variable in rcu_tasks_need_gpcb() For kernels built with CONFIG_FORCE_NR_CPUS=y, the nr_cpu_ids is defined as NR_CPUS instead of the number of possible cpus, this will cause the following system panic: smpboot: Allowing 4 CPUs, 0 hotplug CPUs ... setup_percpu: NR_CPUS:512 nr_cpumask_bits:512 nr_cpu_ids:512 nr_node_ids:1 ...
