In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: set UXN on swapper page tables
[ This issue was fixed upstream by accident in c3cee924bd85 ("arm64:
head: cover entire kernel image in initial ID map") as part of a
large refactoring of the arm64 boot flow. This simple fix is therefore
preferred for -stable backporting ]
On a system that implements FEAT_EPAN, read/write access to the idmap
is denied because UXN is not set on the swapper PTEs. As a result,
idmap_kpti_install_ng_mappings panics the kernel when accessing
__idmap_kpti_flag. Fix it by setting UXN on these PTEs.
