That\ncommit also removes the code that handles race between cpuset_hotplug_work\nand cpu hotplug notifier with the assumption that race is now gone.\nLater commit 7a0aabd9ce69 (\"cgroup/cpuset: Always use cpu_active_mask\")\nupdates the cpuset code to always use cpu_active_mask instead of\ncpu_online_mask in some places including guarantee_online_cpus() which\nis renamed to guarantee_active_cpus() in that commit.\n\nIn the case of CPU offline operation, cpu_active_mask is updated\nfirst in sched_cpu_deactivate() to remove the offline CPU before\ncpuset_handle_hotplug() is called to update the effective_cpus of the\naffected cpusets. The cpu_online_mask is updated after that near the end\nof the offline operation to remove the offline CPU. As a result, the race\ncomes back and the top cpuset may not have any active CPU leading to NULL\npointer dereference during the race window when guarantee_active_cpus()\nis called after cpu_active_mask is updated to remove the CPU to be torn\ndown but before cpuset_handle_hotplug() is able to properly update the\neffective_cpus of the top cpuset.\n\nFix this by adding back the NULL cs check to avoid this problem.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-23T12:23:08.458+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-23T12:23:08.458+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"product\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n                    \"programFiles\": [\n                        \"kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c\"\n                    ],\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"7a0aabd9ce697fc581ec691b21f748050fbcf004\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"8d88d3221204fbb1b6dc2c0f2f2181fe49126639\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"7a0aabd9ce697fc581ec691b21f748050fbcf004\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"a21c255159bfe0034740292e10d2e258feeeb10d\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"7a0aabd9ce697fc581ec691b21f748050fbcf004\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"23b1ab15ca91f2cffaf149d9bb0fafeb700c7db2\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"},{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"product\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n                    \"programFiles\": [\n                        \"kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c\"\n                    ],\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"6.16\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"0\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"6.16\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"6.18.57\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.18.*\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"7.2.11\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"7.2.*\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"7.3\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8d88d3221204fbb1b6dc2c0f2f2181fe49126639","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a21c255159bfe0034740292e10d2e258feeeb10d","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/23b1ab15ca91f2cffaf149d9bb0fafeb700c7db2"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-99065","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-99065","identifiers":["CVE-2026-99065"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
