Subject: CVE-2024-26617: fs/proc/task_mmu: move mmu notification mechanism inside mm lock
Date: Thu, 29 Feb 2024 15:53:08 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240229155245.1571576-49-lee@kernel.org> (raw)
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/proc/task_mmu: move mmu notification mechanism inside mm lock
Move mmu notification mechanism inside mm lock to prevent race condition
in other components which depend on it. The notifier will invalidate
memory range. Depending upon the number of iterations, different memory
ranges would be invalidated.
The following warning would be removed by this patch:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5067 at arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:734 kvm_mmu_notifier_change_pte+0x860/0x960 arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:734
There is no behavioural and performance change with this patch when
there is no component registered with the mmu notifier.
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: narrow the scope of `range', per Sean]

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
