- Summary
- [none]
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
userfaultfd: fix a race between writeprotect and exit_mmap()
A race is possible when a process exits, its VMAs are removed by exitmmap() and at the same time userfaultfdwriteprotect() is called.
The race was detected by KASAN on a development kernel, but it appears to be possible on vanilla kernels as well.
Use mmgetnotzero() to prevent the race as done in other userfaultfd operations.
