Описание
A vulnerability was found in the wq_update_node_max_active() function in the Linux Kernel, where improper handling of a special CPU identifier (-1) when used in the call cpumask_test_cpu() function can result in a kernel panic. This issue can result in system instability or crashes.
Отчет
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and 9 are not affected by this vulnerability as the commit that introduced it is not part of the specific versions or configurations of the Linux Kernel used in its distributions.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: workqueue: Don't call cpumask_test_cpu() with -1 CPU in wq_update_node_max_active() For wq_update_node_max_active(), @off_cpu of -1 indicates that no CPU is going down. The function was incorrectly calling cpumask_test_cpu() with -1 CPU leading to oopses like the following on some archs: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff0002100296e0 .. pc : wq_update_node_max_active+0x50/0x1fc lr : wq_update_node_max_active+0x1f0/0x1fc ...
