NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-qemu-6.12 package and not the linux-qemu-6.12 package as distributed by Chainguard.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernels memory deduplication mechanism. Previous work has shown that memory deduplication can be attacked via a local exploitation mechanism. The same technique can be used if an attacker can upload page sized files and detect the change in access time from a networked service to determine if the page has been merged.
