Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-01-28 15:16 - Updated: 2026-03-25 19:46

Severity ?

5.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf: Ensure swevent hrtimer is properly destroyed With the change to hrtimer_try_to_cancel() in perf_swevent_cancel_hrtimer() it appears possible for the hrtimer to still be active by the time the event gets freed. Make sure the event does a full hrtimer_cancel() on the free path by installing a perf_event::destroy handler.
