How to fix?

Upgrade Echo:latest linux-6.12 to version 6.12.100-1~deb12u1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-6.12 package and not the linux-6.12 package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

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

mm/vmalloc: take vmap_purge_lock in shrinker

decay_va_pool_node() can be invoked concurrently from two paths: __purge_vmap_area_lazy() when pools are being purged, and the shrinker via vmap_node_shrink_scan().

However, decay_va_pool_node() is not safe to run concurrently, and the shrinker path currently lacks serialization, leading to races and possible leaks.

Protect decay_va_pool_node() by taking vmap_purge_lock in the shrinker path to ensure serialization with purge users.
