[PATCH 5.6 123/126] bpf: Prevent mmap()ing read-only maps as writable

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue May 26 2020 - 15:15:56 EST


From: Andrii Nakryiko <andriin@xxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit dfeb376dd4cb2c5004aeb625e2475f58a5ff2ea7 ]

As discussed in [0], it's dangerous to allow mapping BPF map, that's meant to
be frozen and is read-only on BPF program side, because that allows user-space
to actually store a writable view to the page even after it is frozen. This is
exacerbated by BPF verifier making a strong assumption that contents of such
frozen map will remain unchanged. To prevent this, disallow mapping
BPF_F_RDONLY_PROG mmap()'able BPF maps as writable, ever.
