Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
mm: multi-gen LRU: fix crash during cgroup migration<br />
<br />
lru_gen_migrate_mm() assumes lru_gen_add_mm() runs prior to itself. This<br />
isn&#39;t true for the following scenario:<br />
<br />
CPU 1 CPU 2<br />
<br />
clone()<br />
cgroup_can_fork()<br />
cgroup_procs_write()<br />
cgroup_post_fork()<br />
task_lock()<br />
lru_gen_migrate_mm()<br />
task_unlock()<br />
task_lock()<br />
lru_gen_add_mm()<br />
task_unlock()<br />
<br />
And when the above happens, kernel crashes because of linked list<br />
corruption (mm_struct->lru_gen.list).
