CVE-2024-50017

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/mm/identmap: Use gbpages only where full GB page should be mapped. When identpudinit uses only GB pages to create identity maps, large ranges of addresses not actually requested can be included in the resulting table; a 4K...

CVE-2024-50017

CVE-2024-50017 affects the Linux kernel’s identity-mapping code (x86/mm/ident_map). When ident_pud_init() creates identity maps using only GB pages, it can map large address ranges not requested (a 4K request could yield a full 1GB mapping), potentially including BIOS-reserved areas. This enables...

CVE-2024-44965

CVE-2024-44965 is a Linux kernel vulnerability where pti_clone_pgtable() made alignment assumptions (PMD alignment) on the start address, which is valid on x86_64 but not on i386, causing the end condition to malfunction and potentially a short clone of user mappings. The issue could lead to trap...
