In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched_ext: Remove redundant css_put() in scx_cgroup_init()
The iterator css_for_each_descendant_pre() walks the cgroup hierarchy under cgroup_lock(). It does not increment the reference counts on yielded css structs.
According to the cgroup documentation, css_put() should only be used to release a reference obtained via css_get() or css_tryget_online(). Since the iterator does not use either of these to acquire a reference, calling css_put() in the error path of scx_cgroup_init() causes a refcount underflow.
Remove the unbalanced css_put() to prevent a potential Use-After-Free (UAF) vulnerability.
