Уязвимость функции __split_huge_pmd (mm/huge_memory.c) ядра операционных систем Linux, позволяющая нарушителю выполнить произвольный код

Уязвимость функции get_user_pages(), позволяющая нарушителю вызвать отказ в обслуживании

An issue was discovered in __split_huge_pmd in mm/huge_memory.c in the Linux kernel before 5.7.5. The copy-on-write implementation can grant unintended write access because of a race condition in a THP mapcount check, aka CID-c444eb564fb1.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.7.3, related to mm/gup.c and mm/huge_memory.c. The get_user_pages (aka gup) implementation, when used for a copy-on-write page, does not properly consider the semantics of read operations and therefore can grant unintended write access, aka CID-17839856fd58.
