In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: zswap: fix missing folio cleanup in writeback race path
In zswap_writeback_entry(), after we get a folio from
__read_swap_cache_async(), we grab the tree lock again to check that the
swap entry was not invalidated and recycled. If it was, we delete the
folio we just added to the swap cache and exit.
However, __read_swap_cache_async() returns the folio locked when it is
newly allocated, which is always true for this path, and the folio is
ref'd. Make sure to unlock and put the folio before returning.
This was discovered by code inspection, probably because this path handles
a race condition that should not happen often, and the bug would not crash
the system, it will only strand the folio indefinitely.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s mm: zswap subsystem. The issue occurs due to missing folio cleanup in the writeback race path. This flaw can lead to resource leaks or other unintended behaviors if the kernel fails to manage memory correctly during concurrent operations.
Отчет
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is not vulnerable to this CVE, as it does not affect the versions or configurations of the Linux kernel used in its distributions.
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.
