Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/32: Fix hardlockup on vmap stack overflow
Since the commit c118c7303ad5 ("powerpc/32: Fix vmap stack - Do not
activate MMU before reading task struct") a vmap stack overflow
results in a hard lockup. This is because emergency_ctx is still
addressed with its virtual address allthough data MMU is not active
anymore at that time.
Fix it by using a physical address instead.
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in the powerpc/32 kernel code for handling vmap stack overflows, where a hard lockup is possible because the emergency_ctx structure is referenced using its virtual address, although the data MMU is not active anymore at that time. The vulnerability could lead to system instability and memory corruption.
Отчет
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is not impacted by this CVE, as the vulnerability in question does not affect the specific versions or configurations of the Linux kernel used in its distributions. This ensures that users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux are not exposed to the potential risks associated with this issue, and no further action or mitigation is necessary for systems running this operating system.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
