Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] linux-user: fix reserved_va page leak in do_munmap
Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2025 17:09:53 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251117170954.31451-4-mlugg@mlugg.co.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251117170954.31451-1-mlugg@mlugg.co.uk>
The old logic had an off-by-one bug. For instance, assuming 4k pages on
host and guest, if 'len' is '4097' (indicating to unmap 2 pages), then
'last = start + 4096', so 'real_last = start + 4095', so ultimately
'real_len = 4096'. I do not believe this could cause any observable bugs
in guests, because `target_munmap` page-aligns the length it passes in.
However, calls to this function in `target_mremap` do not page-align the
length, so those calls could "drop" pages, leading to a part of the
reserved region becoming unmapped. At worst, a host allocation could get
mapped into that hole, then clobbered by a new guest mapping.

The refactor in the last revision has been dropped in favour of a simple
two-line patch. The added 'ROUND_UP' on the first line of the diff is necessary
to prevent the last 'for (prot = 0, ...' in the function from considering a page
which 'len' partially covers.
