Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-06-18 11:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 05:19
Severity
5.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/hugetlb: avoid corrupting page->mapping in hugetlb_mcopy_atomic_pte In MCOPY_ATOMIC_CONTINUE case with a non-shared VMA, pages in the page cache are installed in the ptes. But hugepage_add_new_anon_rmap is called for them mistakenly because they're not vm_shared. This will corrupt the page->mapping used by page cache code.
