CVSS 3.1
5.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2026-53314
Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
padata: Put CPU offline callback in ONLINE section to allow failure
syzbot reported the following warning:
DEAD callback error for CPU1
WARNING: kernel/cpu.c:1463 at _cpu_down+0x759/0x1020 kernel/cpu.c:1463, CPU#0: syz.0.1960/14614
at commit 4ae12d8bd9a8 ("Merge tag 'kbuild-fixes-7.0-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kbuild/linux")
which tglx traced to padata_cpu_dead() given it's the only
sub-CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU callback that returns an error.
Failure isn't allowed in hotplug states before CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU
so move the CPU offline callback to the ONLINE section where failure is
possible.
