Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Linux kernel versions from 6.1 before the fixes are affected, in the multi-generational LRU memory management code. Unevictable folios can be mishandled, so they stay unevictable after munlock and the Mlocked accounting stays inflated, and a race may cause unexpected behavior. The source gives few details on what access an attacker would need. Upgrade to 6.1.191, 6.6.160, 6.12.114, or 6.18.51, or any later release in those series.
