Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> sched_ext: Validate prev_cpu in scx_bpf_select_cpu_dfl()<br /> <br /> If a BPF scheduler provides an invalid CPU (outside the nr_cpu_ids<br /> range) as prev_cpu to scx_bpf_select_cpu_dfl() it can cause a kernel<br /> crash.<br /> <br /> To prevent this, validate prev_cpu in scx_bpf_select_cpu_dfl() and<br /> trigger an scx error if an invalid CPU is specified.
