| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.15.0-gf3021d9246bc-dirty #118
Description:
The Linux kernel is susceptible to a softlockup issue within the mm/shmem and swap subsystems when handling large transparent hugepages (mTHP) during swapin operations. This can occur when readahead brings order 0 folios into the swap cache, conflicting with the allocation of mTHP folios, leading to a retry loop and system instability.
Recommendations:
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.15.0-gf3021d9246bc-dirty #118 should be updated.
