A patch is available and has been released in multiple Linux kernel versions including 5.4.0-1136.146~18.04.1 and later. Users should upgrade to one of the fixed kernel versions to resolve this issue. No additional mitigation is required once the system is updated.
Description
CVE-2024-26947 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel affecting ARM architectures where the kernel did not properly check if a folio was reserved for no-mapping addresses. This flaw caused kernel crashes during certain memory operations involving reserved but unmapped memory regions, leading to a kernel panic. The issue was fixed by ensuring the kernel checks the PG_reserved flag to prevent invalid memory access.
