Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
mm: use aligned address in clear_gigantic_page()<br />
<br />
In current kernel, hugetlb_no_page() calls folio_zero_user() with the<br />
fault address. Where the fault address may be not aligned with the huge<br />
page size. Then, folio_zero_user() may call clear_gigantic_page() with<br />
the address, while clear_gigantic_page() requires the address to be huge<br />
page size aligned. So, this may cause memory corruption or information<br />
leak, addtional, use more obvious naming &#39;addr_hint&#39; instead of &#39;addr&#39; for<br />
clear_gigantic_page().
