Description

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

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 6.12 < 6.12.20) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.13.8) • linux linux kernel 6.14
