Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

LoongArch: Set hugetlb mmap base address aligned with pmd size

With ltp test case "testcases/bin/hugefork02", there is a dmesg error
report message such as:

The problem is that base address allocated from hugetlbfs is not aligned
with pmd size. Here add a checking for hugetlbfs and align base address
with pmd size. After this patch the test case "testcases/bin/hugefork02"
passes to run.

This is similar to the commit 7f24cbc9c4d42db8a3c8484d1 ("mm/mmap: teach
generic_get_unmapped_area{_topdown} to handle hugetlb mappings").

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
