CVE-2026-46277 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/zone_device: do not touch device folio after calling ->folio_free() The contents of a device folio can immediately change after calling ->folio_free(), as the folio may be reallocated by a driver with a different order. Instead of touching the folio again to extract the pgmap, use the local stack variable when calling percpu_ref_put_many().
A vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's handling of device folios within the zone device memory management. After a device folio is freed, its contents can be quickly altered by a driver, potentially leading to inconsistencies. The vulnerability arises because the kernel code may attempt to access the folio again to retrieve the page map, not accounting for the possibility that the folio has been reallocated. This issue affects the Linux kernel stable tree.
Users can apply the latest patches available in the Linux kernel stable tree to address this vulnerability.
