CVE-2026-72180

EUVD-2026-58938
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/huge_memory: preserve pmd_swp_uffd_wp on device-private PMD downgrade

change_non_present_huge_pmd() rewrites a writable device-private PMD swap
entry into a readable one without carrying pmd_swp_uffd_wp() across.  The
PTE-level change_softleaf_pte() does this correctly; mirror that here,
matching what copy_huge_pmd() does for the fork path.  Without the carry,
a plain mprotect() over a UFFD_WP-marked device-private THP strips the bit
and the trap is bypassed on swap-in.
