CVE-2025-38241

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.
