In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: filemap: retain mapped dropbehind folios
Fault-around can map ready dropbehind folios without going through the
normal page-cache lookup that clears dropbehind. A mapping represents a
competing cached user, so retain the folio instead of forcibly unmapping
it when writeback completes.
For a mapped folio, folio_unmap_invalidate() can call
unmap_mapping_folio(), which takes i_mmap_rwsem and may sleep. Retaining
mapped folios avoids this path when folio_end_dropbehind() runs in
non-preemptible task context.
Tal was able to trigger a sleeping-in-atomic warning due to this [1].
Unmapped dropbehind folios continue through the existing invalidation path.
BOD 26-04 (CISA's remediation timeline, Table 1)14 days if the affected system is publicly exposed; Fix on system upgrade if it is not.
In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). Where an input reads “CISA's BOD 26-04 default”, no one has published it for this CVE, and CISA's implementation guidance says: “If “Automatable” and “Technical Impact” information items about a CVE ID are not available and the CVE ID is not in the KEV Catalog, CISA will treat its values as “no” and “total,” respectively, until CISA or a third party provides metadata about the CVE ID. CISA will always provide the Vulnrichment data for a CVE ID listed in the KEV Catalog.” Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it
