How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:6 kernel-kdump.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-kdump package and not the kernel-kdump package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

userfaultfd: change src_folio after ensuring it's unpinned in UFFDIO_MOVE

Commit d7a08838ab74 ("mm: userfaultfd: fix unexpected change to src_folio when UFFDIO_MOVE fails") moved the src_folio->{mapping, index} changing to after clearing the page-table and ensuring that it's not pinned. This avoids failure of swapout+migration and possibly memory corruption.

However, the commit missed fixing it in the huge-page case.
