-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The scope of CVE-2014-3940 is the https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/18/784 post, i.e., "[PATCH RESEND -mm 1/2] mm: add !pte_present() check on existing hugetlb_entry callbacks" on 18 March. Two notes about this: - Applying the https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/18/784 patch to, for example, the 3.14.5 release would involve changing the queue_pages_hugetlb_pmd_range function instead of the queue_pages_hugetlb function. - The scope of CVE-2014-3940 does not include the related "2/2" message in the https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/18/769 post. The issue there is not fully investigated, and may be a bug that doesn't affect any stable kernel release. - -- CVE assignment team, MITRE CVE Numbering Authority M/S M300 202 Burlington Road, Bedford, MA 01730 USA [ PGP key available through http://cve.mitre.org/cve/request_id.html ] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (SunOS) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJTjQX5AAoJEKllVAevmvmsf/IH/R/0yPoIowUFpeCJ1kQiPojD KexPi5c8hne6z2jfmHARzjmBQS7IvHn/FcrBONF7WIcDnFZq4CgVHhIcGuJjiOI2 uQKXx6JUX6bHahGMdNs2ow2SQzCLy1xj0FcHQBAg/RZVk4jBAQIWkvbkeE52tWaK IpICuE3Sderg7rtucHqpbMjlD76rr/PqiANYT2xgip7ZnpKvoicrXBy2SV3WhD3G qOK6Qrb+aPC+qsU3OIjp7JsRf7IuHaQ10yfn+oZJeEoayf+ka7rzsVy6QpKVkiuK FLw31hMlS7ZPxHrpZX6xaQ1rr7mQY1qk/KY+zUv2uod9GPx7foljWNQNAMdeDKU= =D5Cw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
