CVE-2026-53342
Estado: AnalizadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: mm: call pagetable dtor when freeing hot-removed page tables
Since 5e8eb9aeeda3 ("arm64: mm: always call PTE/PMD ctor in __create_pgd_mapping()") page-table allocation on ARM64 always calls pagetable_{pte,pmd,pud,p4d}_ctor(). This sets the page_type to PGTY_table, increments NR_PAGETABLE and possible allocates a PTL. However the matching pagetable_dtor() calls were never added.
With DEBUG_VM enabled on kernel versions prior to v6.17 without 2dfcd1608f3a9 ("mm/page_alloc: let page freeing clear any set page type") this leads to the following warning when freeing these pages due to page->page_type sharing page->_mapcount:

It can also lead to leaking the ptl allocation if ALLOC_SPLIT_PTLOCKS is defined and incorrect NR_PAGETABLE stats. Fix this by calling pagetable_dtor() in free_hotplug_pgtable_page() prior to freeing the page to undo the effects of calling pagetable_*_ctor().
