There is no remote or adjacent-network path to `move_pages_huge_pmd()`.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race, looping `UFFDIO_MOVE` in one thread against `pin_user_pages_fast()` (io_uring buffer registration, vmsplice, O_DIRECT) in another on the same attacker-owned THP, and all preconditions (two anon writable VMAs, uffd registration, `MADV_HUGEPAGE`) are self-supplied. Losing an attempt costs nothing but an `-EBUSY`, so the race can be retried indefinitely until won.\nPR:L - Any unprivileged local user can obtain the context — `userfaultfd_syscall_allowed()` unconditionally permits `UFFD_USER_MODE_ONLY` irrespective of the `vm.unprivileged_userfaultfd` sysctl, and `/dev/userfaultfd` is ungated (world-usable on Android/ChromeOS, the primary `UFFDIO_MOVE` consumers). Neither `userfaultfd_move()` nor `validate_move_areas()` performs any capability check.\nUI:N - A single attacker process drives the entire sequence — allocate the THP, register the uffd, race `UFFDIO_MOVE` against a GUP pin, then `munmap()` the dst VMA. No victim action or cooperation is involved.\nS:U - The corrupted rmap metadata, the freed `anon_vma`, and any resulting escalation are all kernel objects within the same security authority. No hypervisor, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The stale `folio->mapping` breaks the invariant asserted in `folio_get_anon_vma()` (`mm/rmap.c:518-524`), yielding a use-after-free on a `SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU` `anon_vma` that an attacker can groom and reuse; subsequent rmap walks operate on the wrong anon_vma/index, and the mis-indexed folio can be migrated or reclaimed into an unrelated mapping, exposing arbitrary memory contents.\nI:H - The dangling `anon_vma` gives an `atomic_inc_not_zero()` write into freed, attacker-reusable slab memory, and rmap operations mutate PTE state through the wrong anon_vma interval tree — both upstream commits explicitly state the invalid rmap \"possibly result[s] in memory corruption,\" which is leverageable for control-flow hijack.\nA:H - The use-after-free on the freed `anon_vma`, plus reachable `VM_BUG_ON` assertions in `__page_check_anon_rmap()` and the `split_huge_page`/migration paths, produce kernel oopses and panics. Swapout and migration of the affected folio also permanently fail because its mappings can no longer be located." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "mm/huge_memory.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "adef440691bab824e39c1b17382322d195e1fab0", "lessThan": "df5f6e683e7f21a15d8be6e7a0c7a46436963ebe", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "adef440691bab824e39c1b17382322d195e1fab0", "lessThan": "c0205eaf3af9f5db14d4b5ee4abacf4a583c3c50", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "mm/huge_memory.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.8", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.8", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.8.8", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.8.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.9", "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": "6.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.8.8" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.9" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/df5f6e683e7f21a15d8be6e7a0c7a46436963ebe" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c0205eaf3af9f5db14d4b5ee4abacf4a583c3c50" } ], "title": "userfaultfd: change src_folio after ensuring it's unpinned in UFFDIO_MOVE", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "metrics": [ { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "timestamp": "2024-06-17T17:40:30.411881Z", "id": "CVE-2024-27007", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "no" }, { "Technical Impact": "partial" } ], "role": "CISA Coordinator", "version": "2.0.3" } } } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2024-06-17T17:46:11.249Z" } }, { "title": "CVE Program Container", "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/df5f6e683e7f21a15d8be6e7a0c7a46436963ebe", "tags": [ "x_transferred" ] }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c0205eaf3af9f5db14d4b5ee4abacf4a583c3c50", "tags": [ "x_transferred" ] }, { "url": "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/DAMSOZXJEPUOXW33WZYWCVAY7Z5S7OOY/" }, { "url": "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/4EZ6PJW7VOZ224TD7N4JZNU6KV32ZJ53/" }, { "url": "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/GCBZZEC7L7KTWWAS2NLJK6SO3IZIL4WW/" } ], "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "shortName": "CVE", "dateUpdated": "2025-11-04T17:16:42.236Z" } } ] } }
