NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-debug-modules package and not the kernel-rt-debug-modules package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Linux kernel before 5.1-rc5 allows page->_refcount reference count overflow, with resultant use-after-free issues, if about 140 GiB of RAM exists. This is related to fs/fuse/dev.c, fs/pipe.c, fs/splice.c, include/linux/mm.h, include/linux/pipe_fs_i.h, kernel/trace/trace.c, mm/gup.c, and mm/hugetlb.c. It can occur with FUSE requests.
