the reported production crash also occurs on the memory-hotplug page-isolation dump_page path during offline_pages/DLPAR, with no network or physical-bus entry point.\nAC:L - A container/user-namespace root can sequentially scan PFNs via /proc/kpageflags until snapshot_page hits an order-1 folio at a vmemmap section boundary; on large SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP systems such folios exist naturally (22 TB ppc64le LPAR oops) without races or attacker-uncontrollable timing.\nPR:L - /proc/kpage* is mode 0400 (root-only); exploitation needs only namespace/container root or CAP_SYS_ADMIN in a user namespace to read host proc on typical Docker/K8s/cloud nodes\u2014not init-namespace root; the DLPAR offline path needs admin but is not the lowest-privilege vector.\nUI:N - The attacker performs their own /proc/kpageflags reads or triggers kernel debug dumps; no separate victim action such as opening a file, mounting a filesystem, or approving a prompt is required beyond having local proc access.\nS:U - Impact is a kernel oops/panic within the host kernel security boundary; there is no VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or cross-authority resource access beyond crashing or destabilizing the shared kernel.\nC:H - snapshot_page() performs memcpy of a full struct page from foliop->__page_2 when only two pages are valid for order-1 folios, reading beyond allocated vmemmap into an unmapped hole; this out-of-bounds kernel read can expose adjacent mapped memmap bytes to the snapshot buffer on some layouts before faulting.\nI:N - The defect is a read past valid folio memmap that page-faults in kernel mode; memcpy only fills a local page_snapshot buffer and does not corrupt kernel objects, enable arbitrary writes, or provide a control-flow hijack primitive.\nA:H - Reading absent vmemmap for order-1 folios at section boundaries causes a supervisor page fault and kernel oops, as demonstrated during DLPAR memory remove on ppc64le; repeated /proc/kpageflags scanning can reliably panic or hang large-memory cloud/LPAR hosts."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["mm/util.c"], "versions": [{"version": "31a31da8a6187f1e5448ec73222e01d7d3fed4aa", "lessThan": "9668ffe0e2a5e2399dce281620198a2e415871fc", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "31a31da8a6187f1e5448ec73222e01d7d3fed4aa", "lessThan": "c649324571206a30949765320b91ccdb4c1722dc", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "31a31da8a6187f1e5448ec73222e01d7d3fed4aa", "lessThan": "7441d6348c70738e9ed307510db171c7a9b3f4bf", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "4117738bd42c8ab58090729daf0f8472a936f662", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "6.12.111", "lessThan": "6.13", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["mm/util.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.15", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.15", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.44", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.1.8", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.44"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.15", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.8"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.15", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12.111"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9668ffe0e2a5e2399dce281620198a2e415871fc"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c649324571206a30949765320b91ccdb4c1722dc"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7441d6348c70738e9ed307510db171c7a9b3f4bf"}], "title": "mm/util: don't read __page_2 for order-1 folios in snapshot_page()", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
