In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
userfaultfd: prevent registration of special VMAs
Vova Tokarev says:
userfaultfd allows registration on shadow stack VMAs. With userfaultfd access, you can register on the shadow stack, discard a page ... and inject a page with chosen return addresses via UFFDIO_COPY.
Update vma_can_userfault() to reject VM_SHADOW_STACK.
While on it, also reject VM_SPECIAL so that if a driver would implement vm_uffd_ops, it wouldn't be possible to register special VMAs with userfaultfd.
Since VM_SPECIAL includes VM_DONTEXPAND which is set but hugetlb, exclude hugetlb VMAs from the check for VM_SPECIAL.
