      "title": "bpf: Fix use-after-free in arena_vm_close on fork",
      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbpf: Fix use-after-free in arena_vm_close on fork\n\narena_vm_open() only bumps vml->mmap_count but never registers the\nchild VMA in arena->vma_list. The vml->vma always points at the\nparent VMA, so after parent munmap the pointer dangles. If the child\nthen calls bpf_arena_free_pages(), zap_pages() reads the stale\nvml->vma triggering use-after-free.\n\nFix this by preventing the arena VMA from being inherited across\nfork with VM_DONTCOPY, and preventing VMA splits via the may_split\ncallback.\n\nAlso reject mremap with a .mremap callback returning -EINVAL. A\nsame-size mremap(MREMAP_FIXED) on the full arena VMA reaches\ncopy_vma() through the following path:\n\n  check_prep_vma()       - returns 0 early: new_len == old_len\n                           skips VM_DONTEXPAND check\n  prep_move_vma()        - vm_start == old_addr and\n                           vm_end == old_addr + old_len\n                           so may_split is never called\n  move_vma()\n    copy_vma_and_data()\n      copy_vma()\n        vm_area_dup()    - copies vm_private_data (vml pointer)\n        vm_ops->open()   - bumps vml->mmap_count\n      vm_ops->mremap()   - returns -EINVAL, rollback unmaps new VMA\n\nThe refcount ensures the rollback's arena_vm_close does not free\nthe vml shared with the original VMA.",
