Jann Horn 45d02f79b5 binder: Don't modify VMA bounds in ->mmap handler
binder_mmap() tries to prevent the creation of overly big binder mappings
by silently truncating the size of the VMA to 4MiB. However, this violates
the API contract of mmap(). If userspace attempts to create a large binder
VMA, and later attempts to unmap that VMA, it will call munmap() on a range
beyond the end of the VMA, which may have been allocated to another VMA in
the meantime. This can lead to userspace memory corruption.

The following sequence of calls leads to a segfault without this commit:

int main(void) {
  int binder_fd = open("/dev/binder", O_RDWR);
  if (binder_fd == -1) err(1, "open binder");
  void *binder_mapping = mmap(NULL, 0x800000UL, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED,
                              binder_fd, 0);
  if (binder_mapping == MAP_FAILED) err(1, "mmap binder");
  void *data_mapping = mmap(NULL, 0x400000UL, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
                            MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
  if (data_mapping == MAP_FAILED) err(1, "mmap data");
  munmap(binder_mapping, 0x800000UL);
  *(char*)data_mapping = 1;
  return 0;
}

README

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.
