Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-10-21 21:30 – Updated: 2024-10-25 15:31

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

riscv: Sync efi page table's kernel mappings before switching

The EFI page table is initially created as a copy of the kernel page table. With VMAP_STACK enabled, kernel stacks are allocated in the vmalloc area: if the stack is allocated in a new PGD (one that was not present at the moment of the efi page table creation or not synced in a previous vmalloc fault), the kernel will take a trap when switching to the efi page table when the vmalloc kernel stack is accessed, resulting in a kernel panic.

Fix that by updating the efi kernel mappings before switching to the efi page table.

Severity

5.5 (Medium)
