In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: vmalloc: ensure vmap_block is initialised before adding to queue
Commit 8c61291fd850 ("mm: fix incorrect vbq reference in
purge_fragmented_block") extended the 'vmap_block' structure to contain a
'cpu' field which is set at allocation time to the id of the initialising
CPU.
When a new 'vmap_block' is being instantiated by new_vmap_block(), the
partially initialised structure is added to the local 'vmap_block_queue'
xarray before the 'cpu' field has been initialised. If another CPU is
concurrently walking the xarray (e.g. via vm_unmap_aliases()), then it
may perform an out-of-bounds access to the remote queue thanks to an
uninitialised index.
This has been observed as UBSAN errors in Android:
| Internal error: UBSAN: array index out of bounds: 00000000f2005512 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

Move the initialisation of 'vb->cpu' in new_vmap_block() ahead of the
addition to the xarray.

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.
