CVE-2024-42258

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm: huge_memory: use !CONFIG_64BIT to relax huge page alignment on 32 bit machines Yves-Alexis Perez reported commit 4ef9ad19e176 ("mm: huge_memory: don't force huge page alignment on 32 bit") didn't work for x86_32 [1]. It is because x86_32 uses CONFIG_X86_32 instead of CONFIG_32BIT. !CONFIG_64BIT should cover all 32 bit machines.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: mm: enorme_memoria: use! CONFIG_64BIT para relajar la alineación de páginas enormes en máquinas de 32 bits Yves-Alexis Perez informó el commit 4ef9ad19e176 ("mm: memoria_enorme: no fuerce la alineación de páginas enormes en 32 bit") no funcionó para x86_32 [1]. Es porque x86_32 usa CONFIG_X86_32 en lugar de CONFIG_32BIT. !CONFIG_64BIT debería cubrir todas las máquinas de 32 bits.
