      <title>CVE-2025-21851 — bpf: Fix softlockup in arena_map_free on 64k page kernel</title>
      <link>https://cve.radiocsirt.org/vuln/cve-2025-21851</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;bpf: Fix softlockup in arena_map_free on 64k page kernel&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On an aarch64 kernel with CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_64KB=y,
arena_htab tests cause a segmentation fault and soft lockup.
The same failure is not observed with 4k pages on aarch64.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It turns out arena_map_free() is calling
apply_to_existing_page_range() with the address returned by
bpf_arena_get_kern_vm_start().  If this address is not page-aligned
the code ends up calling apply_to_pte_range() with that unaligned
address causing soft lockup.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fix it by round up GUARD_SZ to PAGE_SIZE &amp;lt;&amp;lt; 1 so that the
division by 2 in bpf_arena_get_kern_vm_start() returns
a page-aligned value.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
