In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
lib/test_hmm.c: handle src_pfns and dst_pfns allocation failure
The kcalloc() in dmirror_device_evict_chunk() will return null if the
physical memory has run out. As a result, if src_pfns or dst_pfns is
dereferenced, the null pointer dereference bug will happen.
Moreover, the device is going away. If the kcalloc() fails, the pages
mapping a chunk could not be evicted. So add a __GFP_NOFAIL flag in
kcalloc().
Finally, as there is no need to have physically contiguous memory, Switch
kcalloc() to kvcalloc() in order to avoid failing allocations.

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.
