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.
