CVE-2024-42317

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/huge_memory: avoid PMD-size page cache if needed xarray can't support arbitrary page cache size. the largest and supported page cache size is defined as MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER by commit 099d90642a71 ("mm/filemap: make MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER acceptable to xarray"). However, it's possible to have 512MB page cache in the huge memory's collapsing path on ARM64 system whose base page size is 64KB. 512MB page cache is breaking the limitation and a warning is raised when the xarray entry is split as shown in the following example.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: mm/huge_memory: evite el caché de páginas de tamaño PMD si es necesario. xarray no puede admitir un tamaño de caché de páginas arbitrario. el tamaño de caché de página más grande y admitido se define como MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER mediante el commit 099d90642a71 ("mm/filemap: hacer que MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER sea aceptable para xarray"). Sin embargo, es posible tener una caché de página de 512 MB en la ruta de colapso de la enorme memoria en un sistema ARM64 cuyo tamaño de página base es de 64 KB. La caché de página de 512 MB supera la limitación y aparece una advertencia cuando la entrada de xarray se divide como se muestra en el siguiente ejemplo.
