CVE-2024-47676 Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/hugetlb.c: fix UAF of vma in hugetlb fault pathway
Syzbot reports a UAF in hugetlb_fault(). This happens because
vmf_anon_prepare() could drop the per-VMA lock and allow the current VMA
to be freed before hugetlb_vma_unlock_read() is called.
We can fix this by using a modified version of vmf_anon_prepare() that
doesn\'t release the VMA lock on failure, and then release it ourselves
after hugetlb_vma_unlock_read().
