Summary

In the Linux kernel, KVM for ARM64 leaks a PFN when kvm_translate_vncr() races with an MMU notifier. The early return does not release the reference to the faulted-in page.

Risk Assessment

The PFN leak can exhaust the memory page pool, destabilizing the system and potentially enabling a DoS attack.

Recommendation

Apply the kernel patch that adds the missing kvm_release_faultin_page() call for the unused PFN.
