Описание
A vulnerability was found in mm, kmsan (Kernel Memory Sanitizer) component of Linux Kernel, causing infinite recursion due to a RCU (Read-Copy Update) critical section when accessing memory metadata. This recursion led to system instability and leads to DoS.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm, kmsan: fix infinite recursion due to RCU critical section Alexander Potapenko writes in [1]: "For every memory access in the code instrumented by KMSAN we call kmsan_get_metadata() to obtain the metadata for the memory being accessed. For virtual memory the metadata pointers are stored in the corresponding `struct page`, therefore we need to call virt_to_page() to get them. According to the comment in arch/x86/include/asm/page.h, virt_to_page(kaddr) returns a valid pointer iff virt_addr_valid(kaddr) is true, so KMSAN needs to call virt_addr_valid() as well. To avoid recursion, kmsan_get_metadata() must not call instrumented code, therefore ./arch/x86/include/asm/kmsan.h forks parts of arch/x86/mm/physaddr.c to check whether a virtual address is valid or not. But the introduction of rcu_read_lock() to pfn_valid() added instrumented RCU API calls to virt_to_page_or_null(), which is called by kmsan_get_metada...
