CVE-2025-39899mm/userfaultfd: fix kmap_local LIFO ordering for CONFIG_HIGHPTE
Medium 5.5
In plain English
A medium-severity security flaw in Linux from Linux. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.1% (higher than 4% of all known vulnerabilities). Fixed versions are available - upgrade the affected package.
Official description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/userfaultfd: fix kmap_local LIFO ordering for CONFIG_HIGHPTE With CONFIG_HIGHPTE on 32-bit ARM, move_pages_pte() maps PTE pages using kmap_local_page(), which requires unmapping in Last-In-First-Out order. The current code maps dst_pte first, then src_pte, but unmaps them in the same order (dst_pte, src_pte), violating the LIFO requirement. This causes the warning in kunmap_local_indexed(): WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 604 at mm/highmem.c:622 kunmap_local_indexed+0x178/0x17c addr \!= __fix_to_virt(FIX_KMAP_BEGIN + idx) Fix this by reversing the unmap order to respect LIFO ordering. This issue follows the same pattern as similar fixes: - commit eca6828403b8 ("crypto: skcipher - fix mismatch between mapping and unmapping order") - commit 8cf57c6df818 ("nilfs2: eliminate staggered calls to kunmap in nilfs_rename") Both of which addressed the same fundamental requirement that kmap_local operations must follow LIFO ordering.
