GHSA-7H3H-QQ7M-57C9
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-09-15 15:31 – Updated: 2025-12-03 18:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cacheinfo: Fix shared_cpu_map to handle shared caches at different levels
The cacheinfo sets up the shared_cpu_map by checking whether the caches with the same index are shared between CPUs. However, this will trigger slab-out-of-bounds access if the CPUs do not have the same cache hierarchy. Another problem is the mismatched shared_cpu_map when the shared cache does not have the same index between CPUs.
CPU0 I D L3 index 0 1 2 x ^ ^ ^ ^ index 0 1 2 3 CPU1 I D L2 L3
This patch checks each cache is shared with all caches on other CPUs.
