      <title>CVE-2024-57883 — mm: hugetlb: independent PMD page table shared count</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2024-57883</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;mm: hugetlb: independent PMD page table shared count&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The folio refcount may be increased unexpectly through try_get_folio() by
caller such as split_huge_pages.  In huge_pmd_unshare(), we use refcount
to check whether a pmd page table is shared.  The check is incorrect if
the refcount is increased by the above caller, and this can cause the page
table leaked:&lt;/p&gt;
