Subject: CVE-2014-3940 - Linux kernel - missing check during hugepage migration
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
The scope of CVE-2014-3940 is the https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/18/784
post, i.e., "[PATCH RESEND -mm 1/2] mm: add !pte_present() check on
existing hugetlb_entry callbacks" on 18 March.
Two notes about this:
- Applying the https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/18/784 patch to, for
example, the 3.14.5 release would involve changing the
queue_pages_hugetlb_pmd_range function instead of the
queue_pages_hugetlb function.
- The scope of CVE-2014-3940 does not include the related "2/2"
message in the https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/18/769 post. The issue
there is not fully investigated, and may be a bug that doesn't
affect any stable kernel release.
