Subject: [PATCH 05/16] hugetlbfs: enforce F_SEAL_EXEC in setattr
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2026 10:40:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261026-fixes_shmem-v1-5-703206d5fa0c@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261026-fixes_shmem-v1-0-703206d5fa0c@kernel.org>
From: Eva Kurchatova <eva.kurchatova@virtuozzo.com>
F_SEAL_EXEC is enforced by shmem_setattr(), but hugetlbfs_setattr() does
not check it. As a result, fchmod() can change the execute bits of a
sealed hugetlbfs memfd.
Use memfd_check_seals_mode() in hugetlbfs_setattr() to reject changes
to execute bits when F_SEAL_EXEC is set.
This also fixes the memfd_test hugetlbfs SEAL-EXEC subtest, where
fchmod() incorrectly succeeded after applying F_SEAL_EXEC.
LLM assistance was used to reuse the helper and revise the description.
Fixes: 6fd7353829ca ("mm/memfd: add F_SEAL_EXEC")
