Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2024-49934
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Linux kernel version 6.10.0-rc2-lizhijian+
Description:
A crash occurs during hot-remove of a memory device when a user is accessing the hugetlb, due to dump mapping() accessing an invalid dentry.d name.name. The issue arises because dump mapping() only needs to dump the filename, but it can still run into an invalid dentry.d name.name. To prevent an unnecessary crash, the filename should be retrieved in a safer way.
Recommendations:
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the dump mapping() function until a patch is available.
Update to a version of the Linux kernel where this issue has been resolved.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
