Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
An issue exists in the arm64 architecture where the
tlb flush() function failed to properly invalidate the walk cache when unsharing PMD tables. Specifically, the function only checked tlb->freed tables instead of also checking tlb->unshared tables when huge pmd unshare() was called. This resulted in stale PMD page table entries remaining in the walk cache, which could lead to incorrect page table walks. The walk cache is a hardware optimization that stores intermediate steps of the page table translation process to speed up future lookups.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
