AI-suggested

A fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel to check the PG_reserved flag for folios reserved for no-mapping addresses, preventing the kernel panic. Users should update to the fixed kernel versions or apply the relevant patches once available. Since the affected versions are 5.4.167 and 5.10.87, upgrading beyond these versions where the fix is included is recommended.

Description

CVE-2024-26947 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel affecting ARM architectures where a change in the pfn_valid() function semantics caused crashes when handling reserved but unmapped memory addresses. The issue leads to kernel panics during certain memory mapping operations, such as those triggered by uio tests. The fix involves checking if the page is marked PG_reserved to prevent invalid memory access.
