CVE-2021-47430
Disclosure Date: May 21, 2024 (last updated May 22, 2024)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/entry: Clear X86_FEATURE_SMAP when CONFIG_X86_SMAP=n
Commit
3c73b81a9164 ("x86/entry, selftests: Further improve user entry sanity checks")
added a warning if AC is set when in the kernel.
Commit
662a0221893a3d ("x86/entry: Fix AC assertion")
changed the warning to only fire if the CPU supports SMAP.
However, the warning can still trigger on a machine that supports SMAP
but where it's disabled in the kernel config and when running the
syscall_nt selftest, for example:
