Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: riscv: mm: Fix the out of bound issue of vmemmap address In sparse vmemmap model, the virtual address of vmemmap is calculated as: ((struct page *)VMEMMAP_START - (phys_ram_base >> PAGE_SHIFT)). And the struct page's va can be calculated with an offset: (vmemmap + (pfn)). However, when initializing struct pages, kernel actually starts from the first page from the same section that phys_ram_base belongs to. If the first page's physical address is not (phys_ram_base >> PAGE_SHIFT), then we get an va below VMEMMAP_START when calculating va for it's struct page. For example, if phys_ram_base starts from 0x82000000 with pfn 0x82000, the first page in the same section is actually pfn 0x80000. During init_unavailable_range(), we will initialize struct page for pfn 0x80000 with virtual address ((struct page *)VMEMMAP_START - 0x2000), which is below VMEMMAP_START as well as PCI_IO_END. This commit fixes this bug by introducing a new variable 'vmemmap_start_pfn' which is aligned with memory section size and using it to calculate vmemmap address instead of phys_ram_base.

Por ejemplo, si phys_ram_base comienza desde 0x82000000 con pfn 0x82000, la primera p\u00e1gina en la misma secci\u00f3n es en realidad pfn 0x80000. Durante init_unavailable_range(), inicializaremos struct page para pfn 0x80000 con direcci\u00f3n virtual ((struct page *)VMEMMAP_START - 0x2000), que est\u00e1 debajo de VMEMMAP_START y PCI_IO_END. Esta confirmaci\u00f3n corrige este error al introducir una nueva variable \u0027vmemmap_start_pfn\u0027 que est\u00e1 alineada con el tama\u00f1o de la secci\u00f3n de memoria y la usa para calcular la direcci\u00f3n vmemmap en lugar de phys_ram_base.\"}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H\",\"baseScore\":7.1,\"baseSeverity\":\"HIGH\",\"attackVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"LOW\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"integrityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"HIGH\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":1.8,\"impactScore\":5.2}]},\"weaknesses\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-125\"}]}],\"configurations\":[{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"5.10.212\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"5.11\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"F1E6B58E-F7D7-480E-A09B-0FA874293160\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"5.15.151\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"5.16\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"DF37B912-2F16-4C92-A527-CD2B342631D5\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"6.1.81\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"6.1.140\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"41B78C99-AE93-456C-9689-C4B567C67F85\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"6.6.21\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"6.6.72\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"7537BD1C-63FF-4CA8-B2A1-151A8D1AA8E1\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"6.7.9\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"6.8\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"739125EE-99C1-42E1-B870-04FD5010BA66\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"6.8.1\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"6.12.10\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"B62FEA87-2A2A-4A33-A535-AEE5670C4FB3\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.8:-:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"41E47F32-BA80-4333-96FD-4D25082B0FDD\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.8:rc7:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"C9B8A5CE-6D20-4C36-AC01-ACA4B70003A8\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.13:rc1:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"62567B3C-6CEE-46D0-BC2E-B3717FBF7D13\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.13:rc2:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"5A073481-106D-4B15-B4C7-FB0213B8E1D4\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.13:rc3:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"DE491969-75AE-4A6B-9A58-8FC5AF98798F\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.13:rc4:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"93C0660D-7FB8-4FBA-892A-B064BA71E49E\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.13:rc5:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"034C36A6-C481-41F3-AE9A-D116E5BE6895\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.13:rc6:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"8AF9DC49-2085-4FFB-A7E3-73DFAFECC7F2\"}]}]}],\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/92f08673d3f1893191323572f60e3c62f2e57c2f\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a4a7ac3d266008018f05fae53060fcb331151a14\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d2bd51954ac8377c2f1eb1813e694788998add66\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f754f27e98f88428aaf6be6e00f5cbce97f62d4b\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/08/msg00010.html\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\"}]}}"
