CVE-2024-56765 (Moderate severity, published 2025-01-05)
CVSS score: 4.4 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CWE: CWE-416
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

powerpc/pseries/vas: Add close() callback in vas_vm_ops struct

The mapping VMA address is saved in VAS window struct when the
paste address is mapped. This VMA address is used during migration
to unmap the paste address if the window is active. The paste
address mapping will be removed when the window is closed or with
the munmap(). But the VMA address in the VAS window is not updated
with munmap() which is causing invalid access during migration.

The KASAN report shows:
