From 13f59c5e45be59665c11ddde19799b6295543b7d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2014 20:15:43 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] uprobes: Refuse to insert a probe into MAP_SHARED vma valid_vma() rejects the VM_SHARED vmas, but this still allows to insert a probe into the MAP_SHARED but not VM_MAYWRITE vma. Currently this is fine, such a mapping doesn't really differ from the private read-only mmap except mprotect(PROT_WRITE) won't work. However, get_user_pages(FOLL_WRITE | FOLL_FORCE) doesn't allow to COW in this case, and it would be safer to follow the same conventions as mm even if currently this happens to work. After the recent cda540ace6a1 "mm: get_user_pages(write,force) refuse to COW in shared areas" only uprobes can insert an anon page into the shared file-backed area, lets stop this and change valid_vma() to check VM_MAYSHARE instead.
