Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

PCI/P2PDMA: Fix p2pmem_alloc_mmap() warning condition

Commit b7e282378773 has already changed the initial page refcount of
p2pdma page from one to zero, however, in p2pmem_alloc_mmap() it uses
"VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_PAGE(!page_ref_count(page))" to assert the initial page
refcount should not be zero and the following will be reported when
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled:

page: refcount:0 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 pfn:0x380400000
flags: 0x20000000002000(reserved|node=0|zone=4)
raw: 0020000000002000 ff1100015e3ab440 0000000000000000 0000000000000000
raw: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00000000ffffffff 0000000000000000
page dumped because: VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_PAGE(!page_ref_count(page))
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 449 at drivers/pci/p2pdma.c:240 p2pmem_alloc_mmap+0x83a/0xa60

Fix by using "page_ref_count(page)" as the assertion condition.

CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:L)
They already need access on the box, or another person has to do something wrong; it’s not a remote drive-by.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:N)
Doesn’t really leak secrets in a meaningful way.
Integrity (I:N)
Data isn’t meaningfully altered or forged.
Availability (A:H)
Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
