In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/shmem-helper: Fix BUGON on mmapPROTWRITE, MAPPRIVATE Lack of check for copy-on-write COW mapping in drmgemshmemmmap allows users to call mmap with PROTWRITE and MAPPRIVATE flag causing a kernel panic due to BUGON in...

kernel: x86/mm/pat: fix VM_PAT handling in COW mappings

CVE-2024-35877 pertains to a flaw in the Linux kernel's handling of Page Attribute Table PAT settings during Copy-On-Write COW operations. When a write operation triggers a COW event, the kernel may replace the original page table entries PTEs with anonymous folios. This replacement disrupts the...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/gup: fix FOLLFORCE COW security issue and remove FOLLCOW Ever since the Dirty COW CVE-2016-5195 security issue happened, we know that FOLLFORCE can be possibly dangerous, especially if there are races that can be exploited by...

SUSE CVE-2016-5195

Race condition in mm/gup.c in the Linux kernel 2.x through 4.x before 4.8.3 allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging incorrect handling of a copy-on-write COW feature to write to a read-only memory mapping, as exploited in the wild in October 2016, aka "Dirty COW."...

SUSE CVE-2020-29368

An issue was discovered in splithugepmd in mm/hugememory.c in the Linux kernel before 5.7.5. The copy-on-write implementation can grant unintended write access because of a race condition in a THP mapcount check, aka CID-c444eb564fb1...

SUSE CVE-2020-29374

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.7.3, related to mm/gup.c and mm/hugememory.c. The getuserpages aka gup implementation, when used for a copy-on-write page, does not properly consider the semantics of read operations and therefore can grant unintended write access, aka...
