Subject: [PATCH] mm: correctly reference merged VMA
Date: Fri,  6 Dec 2024 21:52:29 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241206215229.244413-1-lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com> (raw)

On second merge attempt on mmap() we incorrectly discard the possibly
merged VMA, resulting in a possible use-after-free (and most certainly a
reference to the wrong VMA) in this instance in the subsequent
__mmap_complete() invocation.

Correct this mistake by reassigning vma correctly if a merge succeeds in
this case.

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/67536a25.050a0220.a30f1.0149.GAE@google.com/
Fixes: 5ac87a885aec ("mm: defer second attempt at merge on mmap()")
