CVE-2021-47034

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: powerpc/64s: Fix pte update for kernel memory on radix When adding a PTE a ptesync is needed to order the update of the PTE with subsequent accesses otherwise a spurious fault may be raised. radixsetpteat does not do this for...

CVE-2021-47034

CVE-2021-47034 affects the Linux kernel on powerpc/64s with radix paging. Root cause: radix__set_pte_at() omits a ptesync when updating a PTE, risking out-of-order updates for kernel memory and spurious faults during patching. The fix adds a ptesync path in flush_cache_vmap() (to be invoked when ...
