Subject: [PATCH v4 3/7] binder: forbid vma splitting
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 20:52:43 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901205250.1638304-4-cmllamas@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260901205250.1638304-1-cmllamas@google.com>
Binder does not support splitting its mappings. Allowing so, leads to
potential attacks that stem from a partial munmap(), such as closing the
tail range and replacing it with a new mapping.
Close the loophole by explicitly rejecting vma splitting.
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Fixes: 457b9a6f09f0 ("Staging: android: add binder driver")
Reported-by: Sashiko <sashiko-bot@kernel.org>
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260901163521.1355535-1-cmllamas@google.com?part=2
