CVE-2026-52987 drm/amdgpu: avoid double drm_exec_fini() in userq validate

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: avoid double drmexecfini in userq validate When newaddition is true, amdgpuuserqvmvalidate calls drmexecfini&exec before iterating over the collected HMM ranges and calling amdgputtmttgetuserpages. If...

CVE-2026-52987

In the Linux kernel, CVE-2026-52987 arises from drm/amdgpu: double calls to drm_exec_fini() in userq_validate when new_addition is true. The code calls drm_exec_fini(&exec) before iterating HMM ranges and then, if amdgpu_ttm_tt_get_user_pages() fails, executes a second drm_exec_fini(&exec) on the...

CVE-2021-46927 nitro_enclaves: Use get_user_pages_unlocked() call to handle mmap assert

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nitroenclaves: Use getuserpagesunlocked call to handle mmap assert After commit 5b78ed24e8ec "mm/pagemap: add mmapassertlocked annotations to findvma", the call to getuserpages will trigger the mmap assert. static inline void...

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.7.3 related to mm/gup.c and mm/huge_memory.c. The get_user_pages (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 CID-17839856fd58.

CVE-2017-1000405

The Linux Kernel versions 2.6.38 through 4.14 have a problematic use of pmdmkdirty in the touchpmd function inside the THP implementation. touchpmd can be reached by getuserpages. In such case, the pmd will become dirty. This scenario breaks the new canfollowwritepmd's logic - pmd can become dirt...

kernel: Reinstate ZERO_PAGE optimization in 'get_user_pages()' and fix XIP

The Linux kernel 2.6.24 and 2.6.25 before 2.6.25.9 allows local users to cause a denial of service memory consumption via a large number of calls to the getuserpages function, which lacks a ZEROPAGE optimization and results in allocation of "useless newly zeroed pages."...

CVE-2008-2372

CVE-2008-2372 affects the Linux kernel versions 2.6.24 and 2.6.25 before 2.6.25.9. The root cause is a lack of ZERO_PAGE optimization in get_user_pages, causing the allocation of many useless newly zeroed pages and enabling a local user to trigger a denial of service through memory exhaustion. Th...
