Medium
| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Linux Kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description:
A bug in the Linux kernel has been fixed, related to the handling of HugeTLB pages during swapoff operations. The issue can be reproduced by allocating an anonymous 1GB HugeTLB, swapping out the memory, and then running swapoff, resulting in a bad pud error. The error occurs because the HugeTLB pages are not properly freed from the page table, causing them to be lost. The problem can be fixed by skipping HugeTLB pages for unuse vma.
Recommendations:
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
