CVE-2026-63953 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/migrate_device: fix pgtable leak in migrate_vma_insert_huge_pmd_page When migrate_vma_insert_huge_pmd_page() jumps to unlock_abort due to a PMD check failure, the pgtable allocated earlier via pte_alloc_one() is never freed, causing a memory leak. Added free_abort label to release the pgtable in error path.
A memory leak vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's handling of zone device pages during migration. When the function 'migrate_vma_insert_huge_pmd_page()' encounters a PMD check failure, it fails to free the allocated page table, leading to a memory leak. This issue affects the Linux kernel stable tree.
