  "title": "futex: Fix private hash use-after-free on resize",
  "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  futex: Fix private hash use-after-free on resize  poll_state_synchronize_rcu(mm-\u003Efutex.phash.batches) is used by futex_ref_drop() to check that a grace period has passed since the current hash was published. This relies on batches referencing a grace period which started after the hash pointer was assigned.  __futex_pivot_hash() sets mmph-\u003Ebatches before it replaces mmph-\u003Ehash:      scoped_guard(rcu) {             mmph-\u003Ebatches = get_state_synchronize_rcu();             rcu_assign_pointer(mmph-\u003Ehash, new);     }  The scoped_guard(rcu) doesn\u0027t stop new grace periods from starting, and if one starts between those two assignments, futex_ref_drop() can move forward while a reader still holds a pointer to the old hash.  Fix things by setting mmph-\u003Ebatches after assigning mmph-\u003Ehash.  The scoped_guard(rcu) isn\u0027t needed, so let\u0027s drop that as well.",
