Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-53326)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-53326). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
debugobjects: Don't call fill_pool() in early boot hardirq context
When booting a debug PREEMPT_RT kernel on an ARM64 system, a "inconsistent
{HARDIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-HARDIRQ-W} usage" lockdep warning message was
reported to the console.
During early boot, interrupts are enabled before the scheduler is
enabled. In this window (before SYSTEM_SCHEDULING is set) interrupts can
fire and in the hard interrupt context handler attempt to fill the pool
This can lead to a deadlock when the interrupt occurred when the interrupt
hits a region which holds a lock that is required to be taken in the
allocation path.
Add a new can_fill_pool() helper and reorder the exception rule and forbid
this scenario by excluding allocations from hard interrupt context.
