This CVE record has been marked for NVD enrichment efforts.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
android: binder: stop saving a pointer to the VMA
Do not record a pointer to a VMA outside of the mmap_lock for later use.
This is unsafe and there are a number of failure paths *after* the
recorded VMA pointer may be freed during setup. There is no callback to
the driver to clear the saved pointer from generic mm code. Furthermore,
the VMA pointer may become stale if any number of VMA operations end up
freeing the VMA so saving it was fragile to being with.
Instead, change the binder_alloc struct to record the start address of the
VMA and use vma_lookup() to get the vma when needed. Add lockdep
mmap_lock checks on updates to the vma pointer to ensure the lock is held
and depend on that lock for synchronization of readers and writers - which
was already the case anyways, so the smp_wmb()/smp_rmb() was not
necessary.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binder: fix UAF of alloc->vma in race with munmap()
In commit 720c24192404 ("ANDROID: binder: change down_write to
down_read") binder assumed the mmap read lock is sufficient to protect
alloc->vma inside binder_update_page_range(). This used to be accurate
until commit dd2283f2605e ("mm: mmap: zap pages with read mmap_sem in
munmap"), which now downgrades the mmap_lock after detaching the vma
from the rbtree in munmap(). Then it proceeds to teardown and free the
vma with only the read lock held.
This means that accesses to alloc->vma in binder_update_page_range() now
will race with vm_area_free() in munmap() and can cause a UAF as shown
in the following KASAN trace:
