CVE-2020-10757 is a Linux kernel memory-management vulnerability in mremap handling of DAX-backed huge-page mappings. In the page-table relocation logic, device-mapped DAX PMDs were not recognized as huge mappings alongside swap and transparent huge PMDs. When a huge DAX mapping backed by NVDIMM storage is remapped into anonymous memory, the kernel can incorrectly treat the physical huge data page as a page-table page. The remap can therefore complete while leaving a corrupted destination page table. The defect was present upstream after Linux 4.5-rc1 and was fixed by treating device-mapped PMDs as huge mappings during mremap processing.
