The read uses ldr, but the KASAN shadow address is\nbyte-granular and is not guaranteed to be word aligned.\n\nARMv5 faults unaligned word loads. With CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC and\nCONFIG_VMAP_STACK enabled, ARM926/VersatilePB crashes in __switch_to()\nwith an alignment exception before reaching init.\n\nUse ldrb for the dummy shadow access. The code only needs to fault in the\nshadow mapping if the stack shadow is missing, so a byte load is sufficient\nand matches the granularity of KASAN shadow memory.","published":"2026-07-01T14:16:42.000Z","lastModified":"2026-07-23T21:32:29.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":5.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":[],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00125,"percentile":0.02203,"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 (0.13%).
