Description
CVE-2026-64477 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's x86 resctrl filesystem that could cause out-of-bounds memory access when offlining a CPU with SNC enabled. The issue arises because the kernel attempts to query a NUMA node ID using an invalid CPU identifier when the monitoring domain's CPU mask is empty during offline processing. This flaw has been fixed by refactoring the handler to avoid reading RMID state unnecessarily and adding safety checks to prevent out-of-bounds access.
