Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
filemap: replace pte_offset_map() with pte_offset_map_nolock()
The vmf->ptl in filemap_fault_recheck_pte_none() is still set from
handle_pte_fault(). But at the same time, we did a pte_unmap(vmf->pte).
After a pte_unmap(vmf->pte) unmap and rcu_read_unlock(), the page table
may be racily changed and vmf->ptl maybe fails to protect the actual page
table. Fix this by replacing pte_offset_map() with
pte_offset_map_nolock().
As David said, the PTL pointer might be stale so if we continue to use
it infilemap_fault_recheck_pte_none(), it might trigger UAF. Also, if
the PTL fails, the issue fixed by commit 58f327f2ce80 ("filemap: avoid
unnecessary major faults in filemap_fault()") might reappear.
In the Linux kernel, a vulnerability was fixed by replacing pte_offset_map() with pte_offset_map_nolock() in the filemap_fault_recheck_pte_none() function. The original use of pte_offset_map() relied on a potentially stale page table lock (PTL), which could lead to a use-after-free (UAF) condition if the page table was modified after a pte_unmap() operation. The replacement function, pte_offset_map_nolock(), avoids this risk by not depending on the PTL, thus ensuring safer access to the page table and preventing potential security issues.
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.
