Affected: Alpaquita:stream: linux-lts

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

slab: fix kmalloc_nolock() context check for PREEMPT_RT

On PREEMPT_RT kernels, local_lock becomes a sleeping lock. The current check in kmalloc_nolock() only verifies we're not in NMI or hard IRQ context, but misses the case where preemption is disabled.

When a BPF program runs from a tracepoint with preemption disabled (preempt_count > 0), kmalloc_nolock() proceeds to call local_lock_irqsave() which attempts to acquire a sleeping lock, triggering:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 6128 preempt_count: 2, expected: 0

Fix this by checking !preemptible() on PREEMPT_RT, which directly expresses the constraint that we cannot take a sleeping lock when preemption is disabled. This encompasses the previous checks for NMI and hard IRQ contexts while also catching cases where preemption is disabled.

Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen im Linux-Kernel ausnutzen, um nicht näher spezifizierte Angriffe durchzuführen, die möglicherweise zu einer Denial-of-Service- Bedingung führen oder eine Speicherbeschädigung verursachen können.
