CVE-2024-35872 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's secretmem functionality, where the folio_is_secretmem() check could fail to identify secretmem folios due to an unreliable LRU flag. This could allow GUP-fast to acquire a secretmem folio, leading to a kernel crash when attempting to access the unmapped folio. Rated as MEDIUM severity (CVSS 5.5), it requires local access and has a high impact on availability (kernel crash). There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this vulnerability.
