Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2024-26705
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue occurs when using hotplug and bringing up a 32-bit CPU. The kernel asks the firmware about the BTLB information to set up the static (block) TLB entries, requiring write access to the static `btlb info` struct. However, since it is marked ` ro after init`, the kernel segfaults with missing write permissions. The fix involves dropping the ` ro after init` annotation.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
