Some futex functions in futex.c for Linux kernel 2.6.x perform get_user calls while holding the mmap_sem semaphore, which could allow local users to cause a deadlock condition in do_page_fault by triggering get_user faults while another thread is executing mmap or other functions.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Linux kernel denial-of-service issue. A local user could trigger a kernel deadlock by causing certain futex memory accesses to fault while another thread is changing memory mappings. Business risk is mainly availability on old, unpatched Linux 2.6.x systems. Exposure is most plausible on legacy systems still running affected Linux 2.6.x kernels, especially multi-user servers or systems allowing untrusted local code execution. The bundle does not identify specific affected distributions beyond linked Red Hat and Fedora advisories. Treat this as a legacy availability risk. It is not currently supported by evidence of active exploitation, but old kernels can remain high operational risk because fixes may require maintenance windows, vendor support review, or system retirement. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for Linux kernel 2.6.x exposure.; Review applicable vendor advisories, especially Red Hat and Fedora references.; Apply vendor-provided kernel updates where applicable..
