CVE-2024-50199

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/swapfile: skip HugeTLB pages for unuse_vma I got a bad pud error and lost a 1GB HugeTLB when calling swapoff. The problem can be reproduced by the following steps: 1. Allocate an anonymous 1GB HugeTLB and some other anonymous memory. 2. Swapout the above anonymous memory. 3. run swapoff and we will get a bad pud error in kernel message: mm/pgtable-generic.c:42: bad pud 00000000743d215d(84000001400000e7) We can tell that pud_clear_bad is called by pud_none_or_clear_bad in unuse_pud_range() by ftrace. And therefore the HugeTLB pages will never be freed because we lost it from page table. We can skip HugeTLB pages for unuse_vma to fix it.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: mm/swapfile: omitir páginas HugeTLB para unuse_vma Obtuve un error pud incorrecto y perdí un HugeTLB de 1 GB al llamar a swapoff. El problema se puede reproducir mediante los siguientes pasos: 1. Asignar un HugeTLB anónimo de 1 GB y otra memoria anónima. 2. Intercambiar la memoria anónima anterior. 3. Ejecutar swapoff y obtendremos un error pud incorrecto en el mensaje del kernel: mm/pgtable-generic.c:42: bad pud 00000000743d215d(84000001400000e7) Podemos decir que pud_clear_bad es llamado por pud_none_or_clear_bad en unuse_pud_range() por ftrace. Y por lo tanto, las páginas HugeTLB nunca se liberarán porque las perdimos de la tabla de páginas. Podemos omitir las páginas HugeTLB para unuse_vma para solucionarlo.
