arm64/pageattr: Propagate return value from __change_memory_common
Summary
| CVE | CVE-2025-68737 |
| State | PUBLISHED |
| Assigner | Linux |
| Source Priority | CVE Program / NVD first with legacy fallback |
| Published | 2025-12-24 13:16:28 UTC |

| Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64/pageattr: Propagate return value from __change_memory_common
The rodata=on security measure requires that any code path which does
vmalloc -> set_memory_ro/set_memory_rox must protect the linear map alias
too. Therefore, if such a call fails, we must abort set_memory_* and caller
must take appropriate action; currently we are suppressing the error, and
there is a real chance of such an error arising post commit a166563e7ec3
("arm64: mm: support large block mapping when rodata=full"). Therefore,
propagate any error to the caller. |
