CVE-2021-47461

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: userfaultfd: corrige una ejecución entre writeprotect y exit_mmap() Una ejecución es posible cuando un proceso sale, sus VMA son eliminados por exit_mmap() y al mismo tiempo se llama a userfaultfd_writeprotect() . KASAN detectó la ejecución en un núcleo de desarrollo, pero parece ser posible también en núcleos de vainilla. Utilice mmget_not_zero() para evitar la ejecución como se hace en otras operaciones de userfaultfd.

A possible race condition flaw was found in the Linux kernel. When a process exits, its virtual memory areas (VMAs) are removed by exit_mmap(), and at the same time, userfaultfd_writeprotect() is called.

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 exit_mmap() and at the same time userfaultfd_writeprotect() is called. The race was detected by KASAN on a development kernel, but it appears to be possible on vanilla kernels as well. Use mmget_not_zero() to prevent the race as done in other userfaultfd operations.
