In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ptp: vmclock: prevent read-only mappings from becoming writable
vmclock_miscdev_mmap() rejects writable mappings of the shared vmclock
ABI page with -EROFS, but leaves VM_MAYWRITE set. Userspace can map the
page read-only and then upgrade it to writable with mprotect(), after
which the guest can corrupt the host-written timekeeping data (sequence
counter, UTC time, TSC offset) that the vmclock ABI defines as read-only.
Clear VM_MAYWRITE on the read-only path so the mapping cannot be
upgraded, as i915 does for its read-only objects and as fixed in drm/vc4
(CVE-2026-68445) and drm/panthor (CVE-2024-53071).
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's vmclock component. This vulnerability allows a guest operating system, through a userspace process, to change a shared memory page from read-only to writable. This occurs because the vmclock_miscdev_mmap() function fails to properly restrict permission upgrades. As a result, the guest can corrupt critical host-written timekeeping data, such as the sequence counter and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), leading to data integrity issues.
