  "summary": "mm/hugetlb: fix swap entry corruption when clearing uffd-wp at fork()",
  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmm/hugetlb: fix swap entry corruption when clearing uffd-wp at fork()\n\ncopy_hugetlb_page_range() clears the uffd-wp bit of migration and hwpoison\nentries with huge_pte_clear_uffd_wp(), which operates on the present-PTE\nbit position.  Swap entries keep the uffd-wp state elsewhere -- the\nmigration branch reads and sets it with pte_swp_uffd_wp() and\npte_swp_mkuffd_wp() -- and the present-PTE position falls into the swap\npayload.  On x86-64 it lands in the inverted swap offset, where a\nnaturally-aligned hugetlb PFN always has the affected bit set, so the\nclear advances the encoded PFN by two pages.\n\nNo userfaultfd needs to be involved: the clear is guarded only by the\nchild VMA not being uffd-wp registered, so a plain fork() with an\nin-flight hugetlb migration entry (or a poisoned hugetlb page) corrupts\nthe entry copied into the child.  Instrumenting the clear and forking\nafter MADV_HWPOISON on a 2MB anon hugetlb page shows:\n\n  offset before=120e00\n  offset after =120e02\n\nThe fallout is mostly latent: rmap walks match migration entries by folio\nrange and remove_migration_pte() rebuilds the PTE from the folio, so a\nwithin-folio PFN skew heals once migration completes.  But any path that\nre-encodes the corrupted offset -- e.g.  hugetlb_change_protection()\nrewriting a writable migration entry via\nmake_readable_migration_entry(swp_offset(entry)) -- propagates it.\n\nMigration entries legitimately carry uffd-wp, so clear it with\npte_swp_clear_uffd_wp(), matching copy_nonpresent_pte() and\nmove_huge_pte().\n\nA hwpoison entry, on the other hand, never carries the uffd-wp bit: it is\ninstalled fresh by make_hwpoison_entry() (try_to_unmap_one() does not\npreserve uffd-wp on the hwpoison path) and hugetlb_change_protection()\nleaves hwpoison entries untouched.  There was nothing to clear there, only\nthe corruption, so drop the clear entirely.",
