CVE-2024-35877 affects Page Attribute Table (PAT) tracking for x86 copy-on-write (COW) mappings in the Linux kernel. Write faults can replace mapped page-table entries with anonymous folios, preventing follow_phys() from reliably recovering the original physical frame number and cache mode. It may return anonymous-folio information or fail on swap and nonswap entries, triggering warnings in untrack_pfn() and track_pfn_copy(). Consequently, free_pfn_range() may omit memtype_free() or invoke it for an incorrect range, potentially leaking memory.
