Description
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/compaction: handle free_pages_prepare() properly in compaction_free()
free_pages_prepare() can fail but compaction_free() does not handle the
failure case. Failed pages should not be added back to cc->freepages for
future use, since they can be either PageHWPoison or free_page_is_bad()
and might cause data corruption.
