[PATCH] mm/mempolicy: Fix use-after-free of VMA iterator

From: Liam R. Howlett
Date: Mon Apr 10 2023 - 11:23:59 EST


set_mempolicy_home_node() iterates over a list of VMAs and calls
mbind_range() on each VMA, which also iterates over the singular list of
the VMA passed in and potentially splits the VMA. Since the VMA
iterator is not passed through, set_mempolicy_home_node() may now point
to a stale node in the VMA tree. This can result in a UAF as reported
by syzbot.

Avoid the stale maple tree node by passing the VMA iterator through to
the underlying call to split_vma().

mbind_range() is also overly complicated, since there are two calling
functions and one already handles iterating over the VMAs. Simplify
mbind_range() to only handle merging and splitting of the VMAs.

Align the new loop in do_mbind() and existing loop in
set_mempolicy_home_node() to use the reduced mbind_range() function.
This allows for a single location of the range calculation and avoids
constantly looking up the previous VMA (since this is a loop over the
VMAs).
