# CVE-2026-46154: linux: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched_ext: Read scx_root under scx_cgroup_ops_rw... CVE-2026-46154 is fixed in 19 products on 1 platform, first by ALAS2023-2026-1866, released June 22, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-46154 - Priority: High - CVSS: 7.0 (high) - EPSS: 0.0012 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: May 28, 2026 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched_ext: Read scx_root under scx_cgroup_ops_rwsem in cgroup setters scx_group_set_{weight,idle,bandwidth}() cache scx_root before acquiring scx_cgroup_ops_rwsem, so the pointer can be stale by the time the op runs. If the loaded scheduler is disabled and freed (via RCU work) and another is enabled between the naked load and the rwsem acquire, the reader sees scx_cgroup_enabled=true (the new scheduler's) but dereferences the freed one - UAF on SCX_HAS_OP(sch, ...) / SCX_CALL_OP(sch, ...). scx_cgroup_enabled is toggled only under scx_cgroup_ops_rwsem write (scx_cgroup_{init,exit}), so reading scx_root inside the rwsem read section correlates @sch with the enabled snapshot. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | bpftool6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | bpftool6.18-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-livepatch-6.18.33-63.124 amzn 2023 | 1:1.0-0.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-debuginfo-common-aarch64 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-debuginfo-common-x86_64 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-devel amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-headers amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-modules-extra amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-modules-extra-common amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-tools amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-tools-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-tools-devel amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | linux Debian 14 | 7.0.7-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2026-46154](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2026-46154.md) | Jun 24, 2026 | | Linux | perf6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | perf6.18-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | python3-perf6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | python3-perf6.18-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | --- Data as of 2026-11-08T06:59:42Z UTC.
