CVE-2021-47531
Disclosure Date: May 24, 2024 (last updated May 25, 2024)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm: Fix mmap to include VM_IO and VM_DONTDUMP
In commit 510410bfc034 ("drm/msm: Implement mmap as GEM object
function") we switched to a new/cleaner method of doing things. That's
good, but we missed a little bit.
Before that commit, we used to _first_ run through the
drm_gem_mmap_obj() case where `obj->funcs->mmap()` was NULL. That meant
that we ran:
vma->vm_flags |= VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP | VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP;
vma->vm_page_prot = pgprot_writecombine(vm_get_page_prot(vma->vm_flags));
vma->vm_page_prot = pgprot_decrypted(vma->vm_page_prot);
...and _then_ we modified those mappings with our own. Now that
`obj->funcs->mmap()` is no longer NULL we don't run the default
code. It looks like the fact that the vm_flags got VM_IO / VM_DONTDUMP
was important because we're now getting crashes on Chromebooks that
use ARC++ while logging out. Specifically a crash that looks like this
(this is on a 5.10 kernel …
