CVE-2026-64472 : Chi tiết

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vfio/mlx5: Fix racy bitfields and tighten struct layout Bitfield operations are not atomic, they use a read-modify-write pattern, therefore we should be careful not to pack bitfields that can be concurrently updated into the same storage unit. This split takes a binary approach: flags that are only modified pre/post open/close remain bitfields, flags modified from user action, including actions that reach across to another device (ex. reset) use dedicated storage units. Note mlx5_vhca_page_tracker.status is relocated to fill the alignment hole this split exposes. Bitfield justifications: migrate_cap: written only in mlx5vf_cmd_set_migratable() at probe chunk_mode: written only in mlx5vf_cmd_set_migratable() at probe mig_state_cap: written only in mlx5vf_cmd_set_migratable() at probe Dedicated storage units: mdev_detach: written in the VF attach/detach event notifier mlx5fv_vf_event() at runtime log_active: written in mlx5vf_start_page_tracker()/ mlx5vf_stop_page_tracker() during runtime dirty tracking deferred_reset: written in mlx5vf_state_mutex_unlock()/ mlx5vf_pci_aer_reset_done() during runtime reset handling is_err: set by tracker error handling and dirty-log polling at runtime object_changed: set by tracker event handling and cleared by dirty-log polling at runtime
