NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uek-doc package and not the kernel-uek-doc package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

uacce: implement mremap in uacce_vm_ops to return -EPERM

The current uacce_vm_ops does not support the mremap operation of vm_operations_struct. Implement .mremap to return -EPERM to remind users.

The reason we need to explicitly disable mremap is that when the driver does not implement .mremap, it uses the default mremap method. This could lead to a risk scenario:

An application might first mmap address p1, then mremap to p2, followed by munmap(p1), and finally munmap(p2). Since the default mremap copies the original vma's vm_private_data (i.e., q) to the new vma, both munmap operations would trigger vma_close, causing q->qfr to be freed twice(qfr will be set to null here, so repeated release is ok).
