Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description:
The Linux kernel contains a flaw in the mm/debug vm pagetable test where page table entries are not properly cleared at
destroy args(). This can lead to stale entries remaining, potentially causing issues if another process allocates a memory management structure (mm struct) at the same address, resulting in a bad RSS counter state and negative pgtables bytes values.Recommendations:
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
