Official Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mshv_vtl: Fix vmemmap_shift exceeding MAX_FOLIO_ORDER

When registering VTL0 memory via MSHV_ADD_VTL0_MEMORY, the kernel

computes pgmap->vmemmap_shift as the number of trailing zeros in the

OR of start_pfn and last_pfn, intending to use the largest compound

page order both endpoints are aligned to.

However, this value is not clamped to MAX_FOLIO_ORDER, so a

sufficiently aligned range (e.g. physical range

[0x800000000000, 0x800080000000), corresponding to start_pfn=0x800000000

with 35 trailing zeros) can produce a shift larger than what

memremap_pages() accepts, triggering a WARN and returning -EINVAL:

WARNING: ... memremap_pages+0x512/0x650

requested folio size unsupported

The MAX_FOLIO_ORDER check was added by

commit 646b67d57589 ("mm/memremap: reject unreasonable folio/compound

page sizes in memremap_pages()").

Fix this by clamping vmemmap_shift to MAX_FOLIO_ORDER so we always

request the largest order the kernel supports, in those cases, rather

than an out-of-range value.

Also fix the error path to propagate the actual error code from

devm_memremap_pages() instead of hard-coding -EFAULT, which was

masking the real -EINVAL return.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-43348 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.

Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
