CVE-2024-45024

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/hugetlb: fix hugetlb vs. core-mm PT locking We recently made GUP's common page table walking code to also walk hugetlb VMAs without most hugetlb special-casing, preparing for the future of having less hugetlb-specific page tab...

CVE-2024-45024

The CVE-2024-45024 issue in the Linux kernel concerns page-table locking around hugetlb folios during GUP page-walking. The fix implements a technique to use a PTE lock pointer (ptep_lockptr) so the PTE page-table lock can be acquired consistently with core-mm locking, addressing locking mismatch...
