The common loop increment then\nsteps to the first entry in the next page table.\n\nHowever, the code advances both the source and destination addresses to\nthe last entries in their respective page tables, which is wrong.  The\ndestination address must be advanced only by the same amount as the source\naddress.\n\nIf the source and destination offsets within their page tables differ, the\ndestination address can be advanced too far, causing follow-up issues. \nFix this by advancing the destination address by the source advance\ndistance.\n\nWith a reproducer, we were able to trigger a kernel panic on x86-64.  With\nthis fix in place, we can no longer reproduce the issue.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":3,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":2.8,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
