Description SMASH SMASH 2024-05-02 08:30:04 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ARM: 9359/1: flush: check if the folio is reserved for no-mapping addresses

Since commit a4d5613c4dc6 ("arm: extend pfn_valid to take into account
freed memory map alignment") changes the semantics of pfn_valid() to check
presence of the memory map for a PFN. A valid page for an address which
is reserved but not mapped by the kernel[1], the system crashed during
some uio test with the following memory layout:

 node   0: [mem 0x00000000c0a00000-0x00000000cc8fffff]
 node   0: [mem 0x00000000d0000000-0x00000000da1fffff]
 the uio layout is?0xc0900000, 0x100000

the crash backtrace like:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address bff00000

  Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

So check if PG_reserved was set to solve this issue.

Comment 3 Matthias Brugger 2024-05-30 13:23:43 UTC
balcklisted both, as not applicable due to missing folio support in our kernels.
