Created: Apr 28, 2026    Updated: Apr 30, 2026
Found In Version: 10.25.33.2
Severity: Standard

Component/s: Kernel

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  mm/kasan: fix double free for kasan pXds  kasan_free_pxd() assumes the page table is always struct page aligned.  But that's not always the case for all architectures.  E.g.  In case of powerpc with 64K pagesize, PUD table (of size 4096) comes from slab cache named pgtable-2^9.  Hence instead of page_to_virt(pxd_page()) let's just directly pass the start of the pxd table which is passed as the 1st argument.  This fixes the below double free kasan issue seen with PMEM:  radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000047d10000000-0x0000047f90000000 with 2.00 MiB pages ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: double-free in kasan_remove_zero_shadow+0x9c4/0xa20 Free of addr c0000003c38e0000 by task ndctl/2164  CPU: 34 UID: 0 PID: 2164 Comm: ndctl Not tainted 6.19.0-rc1-00048-gea1013c15392 #157 VOLUNTARY Hardware name: IBM,9080-HEX POWER10 (architected) 0x800200 0xf000006 of:IBM,FW1060.00 (NH1060_012) hv:phyp pSeries Call Trace:  dump_stack_lvl+0x88/0xc4 (unreliable)  print_report+0x214/0x63c  kasan_report_invalid_free+0xe4/0x110  check_slab_allocation+0x100/0x150  kmem_cache_free+0x128/0x6e0  kasan_remove_zero_shadow+0x9c4/0xa20  memunmap_pages+0x2b8/0x5c0  devm_action_release+0x54/0x70  release_nodes+0xc8/0x1a0  devres_release_all+0xe0/0x140  device_unbind_cleanup+0x30/0x120  device_release_driver_internal+0x3e4/0x450  unbind_store+0xfc/0x110  drv_attr_store+0x78/0xb0  sysfs_kf_write+0x114/0x140  kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x264/0x3f0  vfs_write+0x3bc/0x7d0  ksys_write+0xa4/0x190  system_call_exception+0x190/0x480  system_call_vectored_common+0x15c/0x2ec ---- interrupt: 3000 at 0x7fff93b3d3f4 NIP:  00007fff93b3d3f4 LR: 00007fff93b3d3f4 CTR: 0000000000000000 REGS: c0000003f1b07e80 TRAP: 3000   Not tainted  (6.19.0-rc1-00048-gea1013c15392) MSR:  800000000280f033 <SF,VEC,VSX,EE,PR,FP,ME,IR,DR,RI,LE>  CR: 48888208  XER: 00000000 <...> NIP 00007fff93b3d3f4] 0x7fff93b3d3f4 LR [00007fff93b3d3f4] 0x7fff93b3d3f4 ---- interrupt: 3000   The buggy address belongs to the object at c0000003c38e0000   which belongs to the cache pgtable-2^9 of size 4096  The buggy address is located 0 bytes inside of   4096-byte region [c0000003c38e0000, c0000003c38e1000)   The buggy address belongs to the physical page:  page: refcount:0 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 pfn:0x3c38c  head: order:2 mapcount:0 entire_mapcount:0 nr_pages_mapped:0 pincount:0  memcg:c0000003bfd63e01  flags: 0x63ffff800000040(head (node=6|zone=0|lastcpupid=0x7ffff)  page_type: f5(slab)  raw: 063ffff800000040 c000000140058980 5deadbeef0000122 0000000000000000  raw: 0000000000000000 0000000080200020 00000000f5000000 c0000003bfd63e01  head: 063ffff800000040 c000000140058980 5deadbeef0000122 0000000000000000  head: 0000000000000000 0000000080200020 00000000f5000000 c0000003bfd63e01  head: 063ffff800000002 c00c000000f0e301 00000000ffffffff 00000000ffffffff  head: ffffffffffffffff 0000000000000000 00000000ffffffff 0000000000000004  page dumped because: kasan: bad access detected  [  138.953636) [   T2164] Memory state around the buggy address: [  138.953643] [   T2164]  c0000003c38dff00: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc [  138.953652] [   T2164]  c0000003c38dff80: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc [  138.953661] [   T2164] >c0000003c38e0000: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc [  138.953669] [   T2164]                    ^ [  138.953675] [   T2164]  c0000003c38e0080: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc [  138.953684] [   T2164]  c0000003c38e0100: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc [  138.953692] [   T2164] ================================================================== [  138.953701] [   T2164] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
