Vulnerability Summary

An issue exists in the Linux kernel up to and including 4.18.8. The vmacache_flush_all function in mm/vmacache.c mishandles sequence number overflows. An attacker can trigger a use-after-free (and possibly gain privileges) via certain thread creation, map, unmap, invalidation, and dereference operations.

Exploits

Since commit 615d6e8756c8 ("mm: per-thread vma caching", first in 315), Linux has per-task VMA caches that contain up to four VMA pointers for fast lookup VMA caches are invalidated by bumping the 32-bit per-mm sequence number mm->vmacache_seqnum; when the sequence number wraps, vmacache_flush_all() scans through all running tasks and wipes th ...
