It discovers that\nthe refcount of this target page is 1, preventing the offline operation, thus\nproceeding to dump the page. However, page_mapping() of the target page may\nreturn an incorrect file mapping to crash the system in dump_mapping(), since\nthe target page->mapping only saves 'anon_vma' pointer without setting\nPAGE_MAPPING_ANON flag.\n\nThere are seveval ways to fix this issue:\n(1) Setting the PAGE_MAPPING_ANON flag for target page's ->mapping when saving\n'anon_vma', but this can confuse PageAnon() for PFN walkers, since the target\npage has not built mappings yet.\n(2) Getting the page lock to call page_mapping() in __dump_page() to avoid crashing\nthe system, however, there are still some PFN walkers that call page_mapping()\nwithout holding the page lock, such as compaction.\n(3) Using target page->private field to save the 'anon_vma' pointer and 2 bits\npage state, just as page->mapping records an anonymous page, which can remove\nthe page_mapping() impact for PFN walkers and also seems a simple way.\n\nSo I choose option 3 to fix this issue, and this can also fix other potential\nissues for PFN walkers, such as compaction.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2024-02-29T15:52:09.281+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-30T12:17:12.528+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n \"product\": \"Linux\",\n \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n \"programFiles\": [\n \"mm/migrate.c\"\n ],\n \"versions\": [\n {\n \"version\": \"8ca5f0ea52e1eef5e7dcbdff1d1afe602764ea93\",\n \"lessThan\": \"1ce870a2d85969e2c9dafd2af20f205494a490f6\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"64c8902ed4418317cd416c566f896bd4a92b2efc\",\n \"lessThan\": \"9128bfbc5c80d8f4874dd0a0424d1f5fb010df1b\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"64c8902ed4418317cd416c566f896bd4a92b2efc\",\n \"lessThan\": \"3889a418b6eb9a1113fb989aaadecf2f64964767\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"64c8902ed4418317cd416c566f896bd4a92b2efc\",\n \"lessThan\": \"d1adb25df7111de83b64655a80b5a135adbded61\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.1.116\",\n \"lessThan\": \"6.1.191\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n }\n ]\n }"},{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n \"product\": \"Linux\",\n \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\",\n \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n \"programFiles\": [\n \"mm/migrate.c\"\n ],\n \"versions\": [\n {\n \"version\": \"6.3\",\n \"status\": \"affected\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"0\",\n \"lessThan\": \"6.3\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.1.191\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.1.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.6.15\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.6.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.7.3\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.7.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.8\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\"\n }\n ]\n }"}],"metrics":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1ce870a2d85969e2c9dafd2af20f205494a490f6","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9128bfbc5c80d8f4874dd0a0424d1f5fb010df1b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3889a418b6eb9a1113fb989aaadecf2f64964767","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d1adb25df7111de83b64655a80b5a135adbded61"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-52490","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2023-52490","identifiers":["CVE-2023-52490"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
