In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: use memalloc_nofs_save() in page_cache_ra_order()
See commit f2c817bed58d ("mm: use memalloc_nofs_save in readahead path"),
ensure that page_cache_ra_order() do not attempt to reclaim file-backed
pages too, or it leads to a deadlock, found issue when test ext4 large
folio.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's memory management subsystem. A local user could trigger a system deadlock during page cache readahead operations involving large memory pages. This issue can cause system tasks to hang indefinitely, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Moderate because exploitation is limited to a local denial of service without compromising system confidentiality or integrity. An authenticated local user can induce readahead operations on large folios under memory pressure, triggering a kernel deadlock and leaving system processes in an unrecoverable hung state. Because triggering this condition requires local access and execution privileges on the host system, the overall security risk to standard Red Hat environments remains bounded.
