But at the same time, we did a pte_unmap(vmf->pte). \nAfter a pte_unmap(vmf->pte) unmap and rcu_read_unlock(), the page table\nmay be racily changed and vmf->ptl maybe fails to protect the actual page\ntable.  Fix this by replacing pte_offset_map() with\npte_offset_map_nolock().\n\nAs David said, the PTL pointer might be stale so if we continue to use\nit infilemap_fault_recheck_pte_none(), it might trigger UAF.  Also, if\nthe PTL fails, the issue fixed by commit 58f327f2ce80 (\"filemap: avoid\nunnecessary major faults in filemap_fault()\") might reappear.","published":"2024-08-07T16:15:46.000Z","lastModified":"2026-08-04T11:19:40.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":3.3,"severity":"LOW","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N"},"cwe":[],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00192,"percentile":0.08795,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.19%).
