CVE-2025-21965
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched_ext: Validate prev_cpu in scx_bpf_select_cpu_dfl()
If a BPF scheduler provides an invalid CPU (outside the nr_cpu_ids range) as prev_cpu to scx_bpf_select_cpu_dfl() it can cause a kernel crash.
To prevent this, validate prev_cpu in scx_bpf_select_cpu_dfl() and trigger an scx error if an invalid CPU is specified.
