To avoid deadlock. the commit 76bb5ab8f6e3 (\"cpuset: break\nkernfs active protection in cpuset_write_resmask()\") added\n'kernfs_break_active_protection' in the cpuset_write_resmask. This could\nlead to this warning.\nAfter the commit 2125c0034c5d (\"cgroup/cpuset: Make cpuset hotplug\nprocessing synchronous\"), the cpuset_write_resmask no longer needs to\nwait the hotplug to finish, which means that concurrent hotplug and cpuset\noperations are no longer possible. Therefore, the deadlock doesn't exist\nanymore and it does not have to 'break active protection' now. To fix this\nwarning, just remove kernfs_break_active_protection operation in the\n'cpuset_write_resmask'."], "name": "CVE-2025-21634", "package_state": [{"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:6", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:7", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:7", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel-rt", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:8", "fix_state": "Out of support scope", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:8", "fix_state": "Out of support scope", "package_name": "kernel-rt", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:9", "fix_state": "Fix deferred", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:9", "fix_state": "Fix deferred", "package_name": "kernel-rt", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9"}], "public_date": "2025-01-19T00:00:00Z", "references": ["https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-21634\nhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-21634\nhttps://lore.kernel.org/linux-cve-announce/2025011942-CVE-2025-21634-011f@gregkh/T"], "threat_severity": "Low"}
