[ Upstream commit 3ce00bb7e91cf57d723905371507af57182c37ef ] Since commit 1da52815d5f1 ("binder: fix alloc->vma_vm_mm null-ptr dereference") binder caches a pointer to the current->mm during open(). This fixes a null-ptr dereference reported by syzkaller. Unfortunately, it also opens the door for a process to update its mm after the open(), (e.g. via execve) making the cached alloc->mm pointer invalid. Things get worse when the process continues to mmap() a vma. From this point forward, binder will attempt to find this vma using an obsolete alloc->mm reference. Such as in binder_update_page_range(), where the wrong vma is obtained via vma_lookup(), yet binder proceeds to happily insert new pages into it. To avoid this issue fail the ->mmap() callback if we detect a mismatch between the vma->vm_mm and the original alloc->mm pointer. This prevents alloc->vm_addr from getting set, so that any subsequent vma_lookup() calls fail as expected.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
