🇰🇷 한글 설명
Linux 커널의 arm64 아키텍처에서 대규모 리프 매핑(large leaf mappings)이 유효하지 않은 상태로 처리될 때 발생하는 취약점입니다. 특정 메모리 관리 기능(secretmem, kfence 등)이 PTE_VALID 비트를 해제할 때, 커널의 일부 코드가 이를 적절히 처리하지 못해 커널 패닉(Kernel Panic)이 발생할 수 있습니다.
💡 쉬운 설명
시스템의 메모리를 관리하는 과정에서 특정 설정이 잘못 적용되면 컴퓨터가 갑자기 멈추거나 꺼지는 현상이 발생할 수 있습니다. 이는 주로 arm64 기반의 리눅스 시스템에서 메모리 보안 기능을 사용할 때 나타납니다.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: mm: Handle invalid large leaf mappings correctly
It has been possible for a long time to mark ptes in the linear map as
invalid. This is done for secretmem, kfence, realm dma memory un/share,
and others, by simply clearing the PTE_VALID bit. But until commit
a166563e7ec37 ("arm64: mm: support large block mapping when
rodata=full") large leaf mappings were never made invalid in this way.
It turns out various parts of the code base are not equipped to handle
invalid large leaf mappings (in the way they are currently encoded) and
I've observed a kernel panic while booting a realm guest on a
BBML2_NOABORT system as a result:
