      <title>CVE-2026-74514 — KVM: s390: pci: Fix memory accounting for pinned/unpinned pages</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-74514</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;KVM: s390: pci: Fix memory accounting for pinned/unpinned pages&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The account_mem() and unaccount_mem() functions call get_uid() which
increments the reference count of struct user_struct on every invocation.
But we don&amp;#39;t decrement the count by calling free_uid(). It also
accounted/unaccounted the pages against the current-&amp;gt;mm. But its possible
the unaccount_mem() can be called from a different process context than the
one that originally pinned the pages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let&amp;#39;s fix this by storing the pinning process user_struct and mm_struct
when accounting for pinned pages, and subsequently free these resources
when the pages are unpinned.&lt;/p&gt;
