Davidlohr Bueso dave@stgolabs.net ipc/shm: fix shmat() nil address after round-down when remapping
Davidlohr Bueso dave@stgolabs.net Revert "ipc/shm: Fix shmat mmap nil-page protection"
Regression on 4.16, 4,14, 4.9 and 4.4 and all devices.
Regressions (compared to build v4.16.12) ------------------------------------------------------------------------
On all devices, ltp-syscalls-tests: * cve-2017-5669
ltp-cve-tests: * cve-2017-5669
Test log: ------------ cve-2017-5669.c:62: INFO: Attempting to attach shared memory to null page cve-2017-5669.c:74: INFO: Mapped shared memory to (nil) cve-2017-5669.c:78: FAIL: We have mapped a VM address within the first 64Kb cve-2017-5669.c:84: INFO: Touching shared memory to see if anything strange happens Summary: passed 0 failed 1 skipped 0 warnings 0
The root cause is, "Revert "ipc/shm: Fix shmat mmap nil-page protection"", which explicitly rolls back the original change and mentions that the LTP test case needs to be updated accordingly.
This regression initially detected on 4.17.0-rc5-next-20180516 Need more investigation on this issue.
