      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nfutex: Drop CLONE_THREAD requirement for private default hash alloc\n\nCurrently need_futex_hash_allocate_default() depends on strict pthread\nsemantics, abusing CLONE_THREAD.  This breaks the non-concurrency\nassumptions when doing the mm->futex_ref pcpu allocations, leading to\nbugs[0] when sharing the mm in other ways; ie:\n\n    BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in futex_hash_put\n\n... where the +1 bias can end up on a percpu counter that mm->futex_ref\nno longer points at.\n\nLoosen the check to cover any CLONE_VM clone, except vfork().  Excluding\nvfork keeps the existing paths untouched (no overhead), and we can't\nrace in the first place: either the parent is suspended and the child\nruns alone, or mm->futex_ref is already allocated from an earlier\nCLONE_VM.",
