In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
futex: Require sys_futex_requeue() to have identical flags
Nicholas reported that his LLM found it was possible to create a UaF when sys_futex_requeue() is used with different flags. The initial motivation for allowing different flags was the variable sized futex, but since that hasn't been merged (yet), simply mandate the flags are identical, as is the case for the old style sys_futex() requeue operations.
AnalysisAI
Use-after-free in Linux kernel futex subsystem allows local authenticated attackers to achieve code execution, privilege escalation, or denial of service via sys_futex_requeue() with mismatched flags. Discovered through automated LLM analysis by Nicholas, this affects kernel versions 6.7 through 6.19.x, with patches available in 6.12.80, 6.18.21, 6.19.11, and 7.0. …

RemediationAI
Within 24 hours: inventory all Linux systems running kernel versions 6.7-6.19.x and identify which are exposed to untrusted local users. Within 7 days: apply vendor patches (6.12.80, 6.18.21, 6.19.11, or upgrade to 7.0+) to all affected production systems prioritizing those with high-privilege user populations. …
