Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to the Linux kernel, where the iov iter unit test causes a crash on nommu systems, such as the qemu kc705-nommu emulation. The test calls the
vmap() function directly, which is not supported on nommu systems, resulting in a kernel panic. The TEST IOV ITER needs to depend on MMU to prevent this crash.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
