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&amp;#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.
