Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Hyper-V network virtual service client (hv_netvsc) component. This vulnerability occurs in the netvsc_copy_to_send_buf function, where incorrect memory mapping of page buffer entries can lead to a system fault. Specifically, on 32-bit x86 systems with high memory configurations, using phys_to_virt() on pages above the low memory boundary causes a fatal error during network packet transmission. An attacker could potentially trigger this condition, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system.
