But at the same time, we did a pte_unmap(vmf->pte). \nAfter a pte_unmap(vmf->pte) unmap and rcu_read_unlock(), the page table\nmay be racily changed and vmf->ptl maybe fails to protect the actual page\ntable.  Fix this by replacing pte_offset_map() with\npte_offset_map_nolock().\n\nAs David said, the PTL pointer might be stale so if we continue to use\nit infilemap_fault_recheck_pte_none(), it might trigger UAF.  Also, if\nthe PTL fails, the issue fixed by commit 58f327f2ce80 (\"filemap: avoid\nunnecessary major faults in filemap_fault()\") might reappear.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","score":3.3},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/24be02a42181f0707be0498045c4c4b13273b16d","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6a6c2aec1a89506595801b4cf7e8eef035f33748"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:53:51.317825789+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-42233","score":0.00192,"percentile":0.08917,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
