      <title>CVE-2026-54904 — concurrent-ruby:  `AtomicReference#update` livelocks when the stored value is `Float::NAN`</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-54904</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; ruby-concurrency concurrent-ruby&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;concurrent-ruby is a modern concurrency tools for Ruby. Prior to 1.3.7, Concurrent::AtomicReference#update can enter a permanent busy retry loop when the current value is Float::NAN. The issue is caused by the interaction between AtomicReference#update, which retries until compare_and_set(old_value, new_value) succeeds; Numeric compare_and_set, which checks old == old_value before attempting the underlying atomic swap.; and Ruby NaN semantics, where Float::NAN == Float::NAN is always false. As a result, once an AtomicReference contains Float::NAN, calling #update repeatedly evaluates the caller&amp;#39;s block and never returns. In services that store externally derived numeric values in an AtomicReference, this can cause CPU exhaustion or permanent request/job hangs. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.3.7.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
