Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rcu: Fix rcu_read_unlock() deadloop
due to IRQ work During rcu_read_unlock_special(), if this happens during irq_exit(), we can lockup if an
IPI is issued. This is because the IPI itself triggers the irq_exit() path causing a recursive lock up.
This is precisely what Xiongfeng found when invoking a BPF program on the trace_tick_stop() tracepoint As
shown in the trace below. Fix by managing the irq_work state correctly. irq_exit() __irq_exit_rcu() /*
in_hardirq() returns false after this */ preempt_count_sub(HARDIRQ_OFFSET) tick_irq_exit()
tick_nohz_irq_exit() tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() trace_tick_stop() /* a bpf prog is hooked on this trace
point */ __bpf_trace_tick_stop() bpf_trace_run2() rcu_read_unlock_special() /* will send a IPI to itself
*/ irq_work_queue_on(&rdp->defer_qs_iw, rdp->cpu); A simple reproducer can also be obtained by doing the
following in tick_irq_exit(). It will hang on boot without the patch: static inline void
tick_irq_exit(void) { + rcu_read_lock(); + WRITE_ONCE(current->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs, true); +
rcu_read_unlock(); + [neeraj: Apply Frederic's suggested fix for PREEMPT_RT] (CVE-2025-39744)
