A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's perf/core component. This vulnerability occurs due to an invalid wait context during event scheduling, specifically when a pinned event fails and attempts to wake up threads in the ring buffer. An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause system instability or a denial of service (DoS) by triggering this specific event scheduling scenario. This issue is related to incorrect handling of wait-queue locks under perf-context locks.
