Summary

In the Linux kernel VDUSE driver, mapping bounce pages to userspace can leak kernel information because the pages are not necessarily page aligned. The fix allocates bounce pages with __GFP_ZERO to avoid leaking information to userspace.

Risk Assessment

This can lead to disclosure of sensitive kernel data, posing a security threat.

Recommendation

Apply the kernel patch that uses __GFP_ZERO for bounce page allocation.
