CVE-2024-26989: arm64: hibernate: Fix level3 translation fault in swsusp_save()

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.24% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 022b19ebc31cce369c407617041a3db810db23b3, 31f815cb436082e72d34ed2e8a182140a73ebdf4, 50449ca66cc5a8cbc64749cf4b9f3d3fc5f4b457.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 022b19ebc31cce369c407617041a3db810db23b3, 31f815cb436082e72d34ed2e8a182140a73ebdf4, 50449ca66cc5a8cbc64749cf4b9f3d3fc5f4b457 or later.

Such MEMBLOCK_NOMAP regions should not be saved during hibernation. This problem was introduced by changes to the pfn_valid() logic in commit a7d9f306ba70 ("arm64: drop pfn_valid_within() and simplify pfn_valid()"). Similar to other architectures, drop the !can_set_direct_map() check in kernel_page_present() so that page_is_savable() skips such pages. [catalin.marinas@arm.com: rework commit message]

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
