CVE-2024-47676

HIGH

Linux Kernel 6.9-6.10.12, 6.11.0-6.11.1, 6.12 - Use-After-Free in hugetlb Fault Pathway

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/hugetlb.c: fix UAF of vma in hugetlb fault pathway Syzbot reports a UAF in hugetlb_fault(). This happens because vmf_anon_prepare() could drop the per-VMA lock and allow the current VMA to be freed before hugetlb_vma_unlock_read() is called. We can fix this by using a modified version of vmf_anon_prepare() that doesn't release the VMA lock on failure, and then release it ourselves after hugetlb_vma_unlock_read().
