kernel: Linux kernel: Arbitrary code execution via userfaultfd shadow stack manipulation

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's userfaultfd mechanism. A local attacker with userfaultfd access could register on shadow stack Virtual Memory Areas VMAs. By discarding a page and injecting a page with chosen return addresses, an attacker could achieve arbitrary code execution. This...
