In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
futex: Fix mm reuse handling for FUT_OFF_MMSHARED
A FUT_OFF_MMSHARED futex is a shared futex that refers to an MM.
It is possible for a process to wait on a shared futex with a different MM
because a FUT_OFF_INODE waiter can be requeued onto a FUT_OFF_MMSHARED
futex by another process.
This can cause FUT_OFF_MMSHARED waiters on a freed MM to consume
wakeups intended for a newly allocated MM at the same address.
Fix it by keying FUT_OFF_MMSHARED using a unique 64-bit per-MM ID.
Leave private futexes as before to avoid influencing the performance of the
hotpath.
(Multi-threaded processes typically implicitly use FUT_OFF_MMSHARED by
setting clear_child_tid such that it points into anonymous memory, which
causes mm_release() in a multi-threaded mm to perform FUTEX_WAKE.)
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's futex (fast userspace mutex) subsystem. A local user can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by exploiting improper handling of shared waiters when memory is reused. By requeuing synchronization waiters across different memory contexts, a waiter tied to freed memory can intercept wakeups intended for newly allocated memory at the same address, causing threads to deadlock or hang indefinitely.
