Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
userfaultfd: prevent registration of special VMAs<br />
<br />
Vova Tokarev says:<br />
<br />
userfaultfd allows registration on shadow stack VMAs. With userfaultfd<br />
access, you can register on the shadow stack, discard a page ... and<br />
inject a page with chosen return addresses via UFFDIO_COPY.<br />
<br />
Update vma_can_userfault() to reject VM_SHADOW_STACK.<br />
<br />
While on it, also reject VM_SPECIAL so that if a driver would implement<br />
vm_uffd_ops, it wouldn&#39;t be possible to register special VMAs with<br />
userfaultfd.<br />
<br />
Since VM_SPECIAL includes VM_DONTEXPAND which is set but hugetlb, exclude<br />
hugetlb VMAs from the check for VM_SPECIAL.
