Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: mm: Fix the out of bound issue of vmemmap address
In sparse vmemmap model, the virtual address of vmemmap is calculated as:
((struct page *)VMEMMAP_START - (phys_ram_base >> PAGE_SHIFT)).
And the struct page's va can be calculated with an offset:
(vmemmap + (pfn)).
However, when initializing struct pages, kernel actually starts from the
first page from the same section that phys_ram_base belongs to. If the
first page's physical address is not (phys_ram_base >> PAGE_SHIFT), then
we get an va below VMEMMAP_START when calculating va for it's struct page.
For example, if phys_ram_base starts from 0x82000000 with pfn 0x82000, the
first page in the same section is actually pfn 0x80000. During
init_unavailable_range(), we will initialize struct page for pfn 0x80000
with virtual address ((struct page *)VMEMMAP_START - 0x2000), which is
below VMEMMAP_START as well as PCI_IO_END.
This commit fixes this bug by introducing a new variable
'vmemmap_start_pfn' which is aligned with memory section size and using
it to calculate vmemmap address instead of phys_ram_base.

"value": "En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: riscv: mm: Corrige el problema de salida de l\u00edmites de la direcci\u00f3n vmemmap En el modelo vmemmap disperso, la direcci\u00f3n virtual de vmemmap se calcula como: ((struct page *)VMEMMAP_START - (phys_ram_base \u0026gt;\u0026gt; PAGE_SHIFT)). Y la va de la p\u00e1gina de estructura se puede calcular con un desplazamiento: (vmemmap + (pfn)). Sin embargo, al inicializar las p\u00e1ginas de estructura, el kernel en realidad comienza desde la primera p\u00e1gina de la misma secci\u00f3n a la que pertenece phys_ram_base. Si la direcci\u00f3n f\u00edsica de la primera p\u00e1gina no es (phys_ram_base \u0026gt;\u0026gt; PAGE_SHIFT), obtenemos una va por debajo de VMEMMAP_START al calcular la va para su p\u00e1gina de estructura. Por ejemplo, si phys_ram_base comienza desde 0x82000000 con pfn 0x82000, la primera p\u00e1gina en la misma secci\u00f3n es en realidad pfn 0x80000. Durante init_unavailable_range(), inicializaremos struct page para pfn 0x80000 con direcci\u00f3n virtual ((struct page *)VMEMMAP_START - 0x2000), que est\u00e1 debajo de VMEMMAP_START y PCI_IO_END.
