preempt rt

About this tag
The preempt rt tag covers Linux kernel vulnerabilities and fixes that specifically affect systems built with the PREEMPT_RT real-time kernel configuration. Threads discuss CVEs such as CVE-2026-46099, CVE-2026-31508, CVE-2025-39745, CVE-2025-38335, CVE-2025-21825, and CVE-2024-53089, which involve race conditions, use-after-free bugs, scheduling-while-atomic errors, and RCU splats that manifest under PREEMPT_RT. These issues impact Linux routers, Kubernetes nodes, embedded gateways, Azure Linux, and other environments where real-time preemption is enabled. While not Windows flaws, they matter to WindowsForum readers because Microsoft estates often run Linux in Azure, Hyper-V, WSL, and network virtualization stacks. The tag provides technical details, patch information, and guidance for administrators managing mixed-OS infrastructure.

    CVE-2026-46099: IPv6 Segment Routing & RPL Race Causes Kernel Use-After-Free

    Linux kernel maintainers disclosed CVE-2026-46099 on May 27, 2026, describing an IPv6 lightweight-tunnel race in Segment Routing and RPL paths that can turn a no-reference destination cache entry into a use-after-free on real-time kernels. The bug is not the sort of branded, screenshot-friendly...
