Subject: [PATCH] staging: android: ashmem: fix a race condition in ASHMEM_SET_SIZE ioctl
Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2018 10:43:03 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180108184303.55563-1-ghackmann@google.com> (raw)
From: Viktor Slavkovic <viktors@google.com>
A lock-unlock is missing in ASHMEM_SET_SIZE ioctl which can result in a
race condition when mmap is called. After the !asma->file check, before
setting asma->size, asma->file can be set in mmap. That would result in
having different asma->size than the mapped memory size. Combined with
ASHMEM_UNPIN ioctl and shrinker invocation, this can result in memory
corruption.
