CVE-2025-37908 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm slab: clean up slab->obj_exts always

When memory allocation profiling is disabled at runtime or due to an error shutdown_mem_profiling() is called: slab->obj_exts which previously allocated remains. It won’t be cleared by unaccount_slab() because of mem_alloc_profiling_enabled() not true. It’s incorrect slab->obj_exts should always be cleaned up in unaccount_slab() to avoid following error:

[…]BUG: Bad page state in process… .. […]page dumped because: page still charged to cgroup

[andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com: fold need_slab_obj_ext() into its only user]
