Описание
[REJECTED CVE] A vulnerability was identified in the Linux kernel’s cgroup BPF subsystem, where excessive cgroup_bpf_release work items could saturate the system workqueue (system_wq), leading to a deadlock. When a large number of cpuset cgroups are deleted, system_wq fills up, preventing critical tasks like CPU hotplug operations and watchdog reconfiguration from executing. This results in multiple blocked kernel tasks, ultimately causing a system hang. An attacker with the ability to create and delete numerous cpuset cgroups could exploit this by triggering excessive asynchronous deletions, forcing the system into an unresponsive state.
