CVE-2022-50517
Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/huge_memory: do not clobber swp_entry_t during THP split
The problem can be reproduced with the mmtests config config-workload-stressng-mmap. It does not always happen and when it triggers is variable but it has happened on multiple machines.
The intent of commit b653db77350c patch was to avoid the case where PG_private is clear but folio->private is not-NULL. However, THP tail pages uses page->private for "swp_entry_t if folio_test_swapcache()" as stated in the documentation for struct folio. This patch only clobbers page->private for tail pages if the head page was not in swapcache and warns once if page->private had an unexpected value.
