It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-45919 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-45919/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-45919/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-45919","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-45919/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-45919","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-45919","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-45919","GHSA-r52x-qxpq-pv5m","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-45919","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-45919","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-45919"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A logic error in the Linux kernel's real-time scheduler can cause an infinite self-IPI loop, leading to a CPU hardlockup and denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-835","name":"Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nsched/rt: Skip currently executing CPU in rto_next_cpu()\n\nCPU0 becomes overloaded when hosting a CPU-bound RT task, a non-CPU-bound\nRT task, and a CFS task stuck in kernel space. When other CPUs switch from\nRT to non-RT tasks, RT load balancing (LB) is triggered; with\nHAVE_RT_PUSH_IPI enabled, they send IPIs to CPU0 to drive the execution\nof rto_push_irq_work_func. During push_rt_task on CPU0,\nif next_task-\u003eprio \u003c rq-\u003edonor-\u003eprio, resched_curr() sets NEED_RESCHED\nand after the push operation completes, CPU0 calls rto_next_cpu().\nSince only CPU0 is overloaded in this scenario, rto_next_cpu() should\nideally return -1 (no further IPI needed).\n\nHowever, multiple CPUs invoking tell_cpu_to_push() during LB increments\nrd-\u003erto_loop_next. Even when rd-\u003erto_cpu is set to -1, the mismatch between\nrd-\u003erto_loop and rd-\u003erto_loop_next forces rto_next_cpu() to restart its\nsearch from -1. With CPU0 remaining overloaded (satisfying rt_nr_migratory\n\u0026\u0026 rt_nr_total \u003e 1), it gets reselected, causing CPU0 to queue irq_work to\nitself and send self-IPIs repeatedly. As long as CPU0 stays overloaded and\nother CPUs run pull_rt_tasks(), it falls into an infinite self-IPI loop,\nwhich triggers a CPU hardlockup due to continuous self-interrupts.\n\nThe trigging scenario is as follows:\n\n         cpu0                      cpu1                    cpu2\n                                pull_rt_task\n                              tell_cpu_to_push\n                 \u003c------------irq_work_queue_on\nrto_push_irq_work_func\n       push_rt_task\n    resched_curr(rq)                                   pull_rt_task\n    rto_next_cpu                                     tell_cpu_to_push\n                      \u003c-------------------------- atomic_inc(rto_loop_next)\nrd-\u003erto_loop != next\n     rto_next_cpu\n   irq_work_queue_on\nrto_push_irq_work_func\n\nFix redundant self-IPI by filtering the initiating CPU in rto_next_cpu().\nThis solution has been verified to effectively eliminate spurious self-IPIs\nand prevent CPU hardlockup scenarios.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"sched/rt: Skip currently executing CPU in rto_next_cpu()","id":"CVE-2026-45919","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"ext4: fix dirtyclusters double decrement on fs shutdown","id":"CVE-2026-45920"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ovpn: tcp - don't deref NULL sk_socket member after tcp_close()","id":"CVE-2026-45918"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-05-27","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-27","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A logic error in the Linux kernel's real-time scheduler can cause an infinite self-IPI loop, leading to a CPU hardlockup and denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-45919/"}
