      "title": "mm/huge_memory: fix use of NULL folio in move_pages_huge_pmd()",
      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmm/huge_memory: fix use of NULL folio in move_pages_huge_pmd()\n\nmove_pages_huge_pmd() handles UFFDIO_MOVE for both normal THPs and huge\nzero pages.  For the huge zero page path, src_folio is explicitly set to\nNULL, and is used as a sentinel to skip folio operations like lock and\nrmap.\n\nIn the huge zero page branch, src_folio is NULL, so folio_mk_pmd(NULL,\npgprot) passes NULL through folio_pfn() and page_to_pfn().  With\nSPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP this silently produces a bogus PFN, installing a PMD\npointing to non-existent physical memory.  On other memory models it is a\nNULL dereference.\n\nUse page_folio(src_page) to obtain the valid huge zero folio from the\npage, which was obtained from pmd_page() and remains valid throughout.\n\nAfter commit d82d09e48219 (\"mm/huge_memory: mark PMD mappings of the huge\nzero folio special\"), moved huge zero PMDs must remain special so\nvm_normal_page_pmd() continues to treat them as special mappings.\n\nmove_pages_huge_pmd() currently reconstructs the destination PMD in the\nhuge zero page branch, which drops PMD state such as pmd_special() on\narchitectures with CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL.  As a result,\nvm_normal_page_pmd() can treat the moved huge zero PMD as a normal page\nand corrupt its refcount.\n\nInstead of reconstructing the PMD from the folio, derive the destination\nentry from src_pmdval after pmdp_huge_clear_flush(), then handle the PMD\nmetadata the same way move_huge_pmd() does for moved entries by marking it\nsoft-dirty and clearing uffd-wp.",
