{"id":"AZL-99459","summary":"CVE-2026-80866 affecting package kernel 6.6.150.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ntipc: avoid busy looping in tipc_exit_net()\n\nBlamed commit introduced a busy-wait loop in tipc_exit_net()\nto wait for pending UDP bearer cleanup works to complete:\n\n       while (atomic_read(&tn-\u003ewq_count))\n               cond_resched();\n\nThis loop can busy-wait for a long time if cond_resched() is a NOP. This\ntypically happens if the netns exit is executed by a high priority task,\nor under kernels configured without preemption (CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE). In\nsuch cases, it wastes CPU cycles and can lead to soft lockups.\n\nFix this by replacing the busy loop with wait_var_event(), allowing the\nthread to sleep properly until the work queue count reaches zero.\n\nAccordingly, update cleanup_bearer() to use atomic_dec_and_test() and\nwake_up_var() to wake up the waiter when the count drops to zero.\n\nThis uses the global wait queue hash table, avoiding the need to bloat\nstruct tipc_net with a wait_queue_head_t. The atomic_dec_and_test()\nprovides the necessary memory barrier to ensure the wakeup is not missed.","modified":"2026-09-06T05:31:44Z","published":"2026-09-04T17:16:58Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-80866"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-80866"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"6.6.150.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-99459.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
