Vulnerability description

DayBreach CVE AI Research

CVE-2026-99105 has vendor, distribution, patch and security-source records on file. We can compare them and prepare an explanation linked to the evidence.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched_ext: Fix stall when a task enqueued with SCX_ENQ_LAST lands back on its CPU's local DSQ With SCX_OPS_ENQ_LAST, the last runnable task on a CPU is passed to ops.enqueue() instead of being kept running. Exiting tasks without SCX_OPS_ENQ_EXITING, migration disabled tasks without SCX_OPS_ENQ_MIGRATION_DISABLED and tasks on an offline rq skip ops.enqueue() and go straight to the local DSQ. This happens in put_prev_task_scx() after the pick has settled on idle, so nothing reschedules the CPU, which idles with the task queued until an unrelated wakeup lands on it or the watchdog fires. scx_mitosis, which sets SCX_OPS_ENQ_LAST without SCX_OPS_ENQ_EXITING, hit this during mass cgroup teardown: exiting tasks stuck in exit_mmap() for over 40 seconds. A task put on the local DSQ runs, as anywhere else. If the SCX_ENQ_LAST enqueue left the task on this CPU's local DSQ, set need_resched on the task being switched in, as proxy_resched_idle() does. resched_curr() would flag the task being put instead, and __schedule() clears that right after the pick.
