In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/mremap: fix address wraparound in move_page_tables()
On 32-bit platforms, it is possible for the expression len + old_addr < old_end to be false-positive if len + old_addr wraps around.
old_addr is the cursor in the old range up to which page table entries
have been moved; so if the operation succeeded, old_addr is the end of
the old region, and adding len to it can wrap.
The overflow causes mremap() to mistakenly believe that PTEs have been copied; the consequence is that mremap() bails out, but doesn't move the PTEs back before the new VMA is unmapped, causing anonymous pages in the region to be lost. So basically if userspace tries to mremap() a private-anon region and hits this bug, mremap() will return an error and the private-anon region's contents appear to have been zeroed.
The idea of this check is that old_end - len is the original start
address, and writing the check that way also make
