Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf: Fix list corruption in perf_cgroup_switch() There's list corruption on cgrp_cpuctx_list. This happens on the following path: perf_cgroup_switch: list_for_each_entry(cgrp_cpuctx_list) cpu_ctx_sched_in ctx_sched_in ctx_pinned_sched_in merge_sched_in perf_cgroup_event_disable: remove the event from the list Use list_for_each_entry_safe() to allow removing an entry during iteration.
