Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> mshv: Fix error handling in mshv_region_pin<br /> <br /> The current error handling has two issues:<br /> <br /> First, pin_user_pages_fast() can return a short pin count (less than<br /> requested but greater than zero) when it cannot pin all requested pages.<br /> This is treated as success, leading to partially pinned regions being<br /> used, which causes memory corruption.<br /> <br /> Second, when an error occurs mid-loop, already pinned pages from the<br /> current batch are not properly accounted for before calling<br /> mshv_region_invalidate_pages(), causing a page reference leak.<br /> <br /> Treat short pins as errors and fix partial batch accounting before<br /> cleanup.
