CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the Linux kernel's KVM module on arm64 architectures, where a race condition in the kvm_translate_vncr() function can lead to a reference leak of the page frame number (PFN) when an MMU notifier is triggered. This could potentially allow unauthorized access to sensitive memory information. Organizations utilizing Linux on arm64 systems, particularly those running virtualized environments, should prioritize applying the relevant patches to mitigate this risk.
Original NVD Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: arm64: Don't leak PFN when kvm_translate_vncr() races MMU notifier In the case that kvm_translate_vncr() races with an MMU notifier the early return does not release a reference on the faulted in PFN. Add the necessary call to kvm_release_faultin_page() for the unused PFN.
