kernel: hugetlbfs: fix bugs in hugetlb_vmtruncate_list()
Unspecified vulnerability in the kernel-uek component in Oracle Linux 6 allows local users to affect availability via unknown vectors.
A resource-management flaw was found in the Linux kernel's hugetlbfs handling of punching holes in hugetlbfs files with either truncate or fallocate. When truncating a hugetlbfs file, this bug could prevent some pages from being unmapped, which panics the system. With fallocate, pages could be prevented from being unmapped and then not removed, or more pages than desired could be unmapped (causing page faults to reestablish the mappings on subsequent page access). A local, non-privileged attacker could exploit this flaw by issuing a sequence of huge-page memory requests that crash the system (denial

CVE-2016-0617 kernel: hugetlbfs: fix bugs in hugetlb_vmtruncate_list()
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's hugetlbfs handling of punching holes in hugetlbfs files with either truncate or fallocate. When truncating a hugetlbfs file, this bug could prevent some pages from being unmapped. If pages are not properly unmapped during truncate, the kernel bug is hit which leads the system to panic. In the fallocate hole punch case, this bug could prevent pages from being unmapped as in the truncate case also. However, for hole punch the result is that unmapped pages will not be removed during the operation. For hole punch, it is also possible that more pages than desired will be unmapped. This unnecessary unmapping will cause page faults to reestablish the mappings on subsequent page access.
