CVE-2021-4002 is a Linux kernel huge-page mapping flaw affecting Linux 3.6 and later. When unmapping a page of PMD entries by clearing a PUD entry, the hugetlbfs memory-management path fails to flush the TLB. Stale translations can subsequently reference memory that has been reused, enabling leakage or corruption of data stored in huge pages, including hugetlbfs-backed data. The issue affects huge-page mappings created through mmap() with MAP_HUGETLB or System V shared memory created through shmget() with SHM_HUGETLB.
