Title
mm: huge_memory: use !CONFIG_64BIT to relax huge page alignment on 32 bit machines
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: huge_memory: use !CONFIG_64BIT to relax huge page alignment on 32 bit machines
Yves-Alexis Perez reported commit 4ef9ad19e176 ("mm: huge_memory: don't
force huge page alignment on 32 bit") didn't work for x86_32 [1]. It is
because x86_32 uses CONFIG_X86_32 instead of CONFIG_32BIT.
!CONFIG_64BIT should cover all 32 bit machines.

"value": "AV:L - The flawed placement logic is reached only through local process address-space operations \u2014 `mmap(2)` for anonymous mappings \u22652MB and `execve(2)`/`ld.so` library loads on ext4/xfs/btrfs/fuse \u2014 with no network-facing input processing involved. An attacker needs local execution on the 32-bit target (i386 desktop/server, or ARM32-LPAE embedded/IoT/automotive controller).\nAC:L - The behaviour is fully deterministic with no race or memory-layout precondition: on any x86_32/ARM32 kernel with THP enabled (the Debian/Ubuntu i386 PAE default and common on ARM LPAE), every mapping \u22652MB is unconditionally rounded to a 2MB boundary, yielding a fixed, precomputable address. The attacker simply issues a large mmap or reads the predictable base of a large library.\nPR:L - Any ordinary unprivileged local user can allocate \u22652MB mappings and observe the zero-entropy 2MB-aligned placement, and can equally derive the now-deterministic library base addresses of other, more privileged processes. No capability, namespace, or administrative access is required.\nUI:N - No victim action is needed \u2014 the kernel applies the alignment automatically to every qualifying mapping in every process on the system, including long-running root daemons that are already mapped. The attacker acts entirely on their own.\nS:U - The weakened randomization and the address-space exhaustion are both confined to the same operating-system security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - With `mmap_rnd_bits` at the 32-bit default of 8, PMD alignment consumes every randomization bit, so ASLR is completely \u2014 not partially \u2014 defeated for all large mappings, exposing the exact address-space layout of arbitrary processes including setuid binaries and network daemons. This total loss of a core memory-confidentiality protection makes the contents of victim memory reliably locatable and disclosable, as the reporter demonstrated in the regreSSHion (CVE-2024-6387) context on i386.\nI:N - The defect only influences where mappings are placed; the padding arithmetic retains its overflow guards and the returned address stays inside the reserved region, so no out-of-bounds write, use-after-free, or other data-modification primitive arises from the flaw itself.\nA:H - Forcing 2MB alignment on the 2\u20133GB 32-bit user address space leaves multi-megabyte holes between mappings, and the resulting fragmentation was reported in practice as mmap failures and premature OOM on openSUSE i586 and Android compat workloads. On a 32-bit embedded or industrial controller this causes the primary workload to fail allocations and be OOM-killed, denying service."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
