CVSS 7 HIGH
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. When the kernel's real-time mutex (rtmutex) component performs a specific operation called 'proxy-lock rollback' during futex requeue, it incorrectly handles task pointers. This can lead to a 'Use-After-Free' (UAF) vulnerability, where the system attempts to use memory that has already been released. A local attacker could potentially exploit this to gain elevated privileges or execute unauthorized code.
