Summary

In the Linux kernel on RISC-V, there is a vulnerability where the sfence.vma instruction is not executed on spurious page faults. This can lead to a repeated fault and a system crash if the page does not become valid within the expected timeframe.

Risk Assessment

The risk is a potential system crash due to a repeated page fault, which could lead to service unavailability or data loss.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that forces sfence.vma execution on spurious faults.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: riscv: mm: Unconditionally sfence.vma for spurious fault Svvptc does not guarantee that it's safe to just return here. Since we have already cleared our bit, if, theoretically, the bounded timeframe for the accessed page to become valid still hasn't happened after sret, we could fault again and actually crash. Hopefully, these spurious faults should be rare enough that this is an acceptable slowdown.
