Page history
Changes are dated when recorded; day views use the last saved version from that UTC day, and citations stay fixed.
CISA KEV is observed exploitation evidence. FIRST EPSS is a dated prediction of exploitation in the next 30 days. Missing scores are unknown. This collector requests predictions only for explicit CVE aliases in the public NuGet archive; Microsoft release views retain their existing prediction scope.
No collected risk observation for these identifiers. This does not establish absence of exploitation or a zero probability.

perf/core: Fix NULL pmu_ctx passed to pmu->sched_task()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/core: Fix NULL pmu_ctx passed to pmu->sched_task()
perf_pmu_sched_task() returns early when cpuctx->task_ctx is set, and
cpc->task_epc is only non-NULL while a task context is scheduled in on
this CPU. __perf_pmu_sched_task() therefore always passes NULL:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00
pc : armv8pmu_sched_task+0x14/0x50
Call trace:
armv8pmu_sched_task+0x14/0x50 (P)
perf_pmu_sched_task+0xac/0x108
__perf_event_task_sched_out+0x6c/0xe0
Pass &cpc->epc instead, the CPU-wide context for this PMU, which the
function already dereferences a few lines up to find pmu.
armv8pmu_sched_task() is the only in-tree implementation that
dereferences the argument, and it only reads ->pmu, so the oops needs
BRBE, added in v6.17.
