From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> stable inclusion from stable-v6.6.94 commit 2c72fe18cc5f9f1750f5bc148cf1c94c29e106ff category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/ICOE0M CVE: CVE-2025-38352 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- commit f90fff1e152dedf52b932240ebbd670d83330eca upstream. If an exiting non-autoreaping task has already passed exit_notify() and calls handle_posix_cpu_timers() from IRQ, it can be reaped by its parent or debugger right after unlock_task_sighand(). If a concurrent posix_cpu_timer_del() runs at that moment, it won't be able to detect timer->it.cpu.firing != 0: cpu_timer_task_rcu() and/or lock_task_sighand() will fail. Add the tsk->exit_state check into run_posix_cpu_timers() to fix this. This fix is not needed if CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK=y, because exit_task_work() is called before exit_notify(). But the check still makes sense, task_work_add(&tsk->posix_cputimers_work.work) will fail anyway in this case.
