mm/vma: fix anon_vma UAF on mremap() faulted, unfaulted merge
Patch series "mm/vma: fix anon_vma UAF on mremap() faulted, unfaulted merge", v2. Commit 879bca0a2c4f ("mm/vma: fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges") introduced the ability to merge previously unavailable VMA merge scenarios. However, it is handling merges incorrectly when it comes to mremap() of a faulted VMA adjacent to an unfaulted VMA. The issues arise in three cases: 1. Previous VMA unfaulted: copied -----| v |-----------|.............| | unfaulted |(faulted VMA)| |-----------|.............| prev 2. Next VMA unfaulted: copied -----| v |.............|-----------| |(faulted VMA)| unfaulted | |.............|-----------| next 3. Both adjacent VMAs unfaulted: copied -----| v |-----------|.............|-----------| | unfaulted |(faulted VMA)| unfaulted | |-----------|.............|-----------| prev next This series fixes each of these cases, and introduces self tests to assert that the issues are corrected. I also test a further case which was already handled, to assert that my changes continues to correctly handle it: 4. prev unfaulted, next faulted: copied -----| v |-----------|.............|-----------| | unfaulted |(faulted VMA)| faulted | |-----------|.............|-----------| prev next This bug was discovered via a syzbot report, linked to in the first patch in the series, I confirmed that this series fixes the bug. I also discovered that we are failing to check that the faulted VMA was not forked when merging a copied VMA in cases 1-3 above, an issue this series also addresses. I also added self tests to assert that this is resolved (and confirmed that the tests failed prior to this). I also cleaned up vma_expand() as part of this work, renamed vma_had_uncowed_parents() to vma_is_fork_child() as the previous name was unduly confusing, and simplified the comments around this function. This patch (of 4): Commit 879bca0a2c4f ("mm/vma: fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges") introduced the ability to merge previously unavailable VMA merge scenarios. The key piece of logic introduced was the ability to merge a faulted VMA immediately next to an unfaulted VMA, which relies upon dup_anon_vma() to correctly handle anon_vma state. In the case of the merge of an existing VMA (that is changing properties of a VMA and then merging if those properties are shared by adjacent VMAs), dup_anon_vma() is invoked correctly. However in the case of the merge of a new VMA, a corner case peculiar to mremap() was missed. The issue is that vma_expand() only performs dup_anon_vma() if the target (the VMA that will ultimately become the merged VMA): is not the next VMA, i.e. the one that appears after the range in which the new VMA is to be established. A key insight here is that in all other cases other than mremap(), a new VMA merge either expands an existing VMA, meaning that the target VMA will be that VMA, or would have anon_vma be NULL. Specifically: * __mmap_region() - no anon_vma in place, initial mapping. * do_brk_flags() - expanding an existing VMA. * vma_merge_extend() - expanding an existing VMA. * relocate_vma_down() - no anon_vma in place, initial mapping. In addition, we are in the unique situation of needing to duplicate anon_vma state from a VMA that is neither the previous or next VMA being merged with. dup_anon_vma() deals exclusively with the target=unfaulted, src=faulted case. This leaves four possibilities, in each case where the copied VMA is faulted: 1. Previous VMA unfaulted: copied -----| v |-----------|.............| | unfaulted |(faulted VMA)| |-----------|.............| prev target = prev, expand prev to cover. 2. Next VMA unfaulted: copied -----| v |.............|-----------| |(faulted VMA)| unfaulted | |.............|-----------| next target = next, expand next to cover. 3. Both adjacent VMAs unfaulted: copied -----| v |-----------|.............|-----------| | unfaulted |(faulted VMA)| unfaulted | |-----------|.............|-----------| prev next target = prev, expand prev to cover. 4. prev unfaulted, next faulted: copied -----| v |-----------|.............|-----------| | unfaulted |(faulted VMA)| faulted | |-----------|.............|-----------| prev next target = prev, expand prev to cover. Essentially equivalent to 3, but with additional requirement that next's anon_vma is the same as the copied VMA's. This is covered by the existing logic. To account for this very explicitly, we introduce vma_merge_copied_range(), which sets a newly introduced vmg->copied_from field, then invokes vma_merge_new_range() which handles the rest of the logic. We then update the key vma_expand() function to clean up the logic and make what's going on clearer, making the 'remove next' case less special, before invoking dup_anon_vma() unconditionally should we be copying from a VMA. Note that in case 3, the if (remove_next) ... branch will be a no-op, as next=src in this instance and src is unfaulted. In case 4, it won't be, but since in this instance next=src and it is faulted, this will have required tgt=faulted, src=faulted to be compatible, meaning that next->anon_vma == vmg->copied_from->anon_vma, and thus a single dup_anon_vma() of next suffices to copy anon_vma state for the copied-from VMA also. If we are copying from a VMA in a successful merge we must _always_ propagate anon_vma state. This issue can be observed most directly by invoked mremap() to move around a VMA and cause this kind of merge with the MREMAP_DONTUNMAP flag specified. This will result in unlink_anon_vmas() being called after failing to duplicate anon_vma state to the target VMA, which results in the anon_vma itself being freed with folios still possessing dangling pointers to the anon_vma and thus a use-after-free bug. This bug was discovered via a syzbot report, which this patch resolves. We further make a change to update the mergeable anon_vma check to assert the copied-from anon_vma did not have CoW parents, as otherwise dup_anon_vma() might incorrectly propagate CoW ancestors from the next VMA in case 4 despite the anon_vma's being identical for both VMAs.
