GHSA-jfpv-p5jh-pjp7: 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:mm/vma: fix anon_vma UAF on mremap() faulted, unfaulted mergePatch series "mm/vma: fix anon_vma UAF on mremap() faulted, unfaulted
merge", v2.Commit 879bca0a2c4f ("mm/vma: fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA
merges") introduced the ability to merge previously unavailable VMA merge
scenarios.However, it is handling merges incorrectly when it comes to mremap() of a
faulted VMA adjacent to an unfaulted VMA.  The issues arise in three
cases:Previous VMA unfaulted:|-----------|.............|
 | unfaulted |(faulted VMA)|
 |-----------|.............|
      prevNext VMA unfaulted:Both adjacent VMAs unfaulted:|-----------|.............|-----------|
 | unfaulted |(faulted VMA)| unfaulted |
 |-----------|.............|-----------|
      prev                      nextThis series fixes each of these cases, and introduces self tests to assert
that the issues are corrected.I also test a further case which was already handled, to assert that my
changes continues to correctly handle it:prev unfaulted, next faulted:|-----------|.............|-----------|
 | unfaulted |(faulted VMA)|  faulted  |
 |-----------|.............|-----------|
      prev                      nextThis bug was discovered via a syzbot report, linked to in the first patch
in the series, I confirmed that this series fixes the bug.I also discovered that we are failing to check that the faulted VMA was
not forked when merging a copied VMA in cases 1-3 above, an issue this
series also addresses.I also added self tests to assert that this is resolved (and confirmed
that the tests failed prior to this).I also cleaned up vma_expand() as part of this work, renamed
vma_had_uncowed_parents() to vma_is_fork_child() as the previous name was
unduly confusing, and simplified the comments around this function.This patch (of 4):Commit 879bca0a2c4f ("mm/vma: fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA
merges") introduced the ability to merge previously unavailable VMA merge
scenarios.The key piece of logic introduced was the ability to merge a faulted VMA
immediately next to an unfaulted VMA, which relies upon dup_anon_vma() to
correctly handle anon_vma state.In the case of the merge of an existing VMA (that is changing properties
of a VMA and then merging if those properties are shared by adjacent
VMAs), dup_anon_vma() is invoked correctly.However in the case of the merge of a new VMA, a corner case peculiar to
mremap() was missed.The issue is that vma_expand() only performs dup_anon_vma() if the target
(the VMA that will ultimately become the merged VMA): is not the next VMA,
i.e.  the one that appears after the range in which the new VMA is to be
established.A key insight here is that in all other cases other than mremap(), a new
VMA merge either expands an existing VMA, meaning that the target VMA will
be that VMA, or would have anon_vma be NULL.Specifically:__mmap_region() - no anon_vma in place, initial mapping.do_brk_flags() - expanding an existing VMA.vma_merge_extend() - expanding an existing VMA.relocate_vma_down() - no anon_vma in place, initial mapping.In addition, we are in the unique situation of needing to duplicate
anon_vma state from a VMA that is neither the previous or next VMA being
merged with.dup_anon_vma() deals exclusively with the target=unfaulted, src=faulted
case.  This leaves four possibilities, in each case where the copied VMA
is faulted:Previous VMA unfaulted:---truncated---
