2th percentile - higher than 2% of all known CVEs

Summary

In the Linux kernel's drm/shmem_helper driver, the ->huge_fault handler did not check if the PMD mapping exceeds VMA boundaries, potentially leading to VM_BUG_ON_VMA() in copy_pmd_range(). The fix adds VMA boundary checks before installing the mapping.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability could lead to system crash (BUG_ON) during memory mapping handling, potentially exploited for DoS attacks.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel update containing the fix for CVE-2026-80582.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/shmem_helper: Check VMA boundaries for PMD mappings In the ->huge_fault handler do not install a PMD huge page mapping if the huge page exceeds the boundaries of the VMA. All other ->huge_fault handlers have similar checks and the resulting mapping will trigger a VM_BUG_ON_VMA() if it ever reaches copy_pmd_range().
