Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm: call the security_mmap_file() LSM hook in remap_file_pages() The remap_file_pages syscall handler calls do_mmap() directly, which doesn't contain the LSM security check. And if the process has called personality(READ_IMPLIES_EXEC) before and remap_file_pages() is called for RW pages, this will actually result in remapping the pages to RWX, bypassing a W^X policy enforced by SELinux. So we should check prot by security_mmap_file LSM hook in the remap_file_pages syscall handler before do_mmap() is called. Otherwise, it potentially permits an attacker to bypass a W^X policy enforced by SELinux. The bypass is similar to CVE-2016-10044, which bypass the same thing via AIO and can be found in [1]. The PoC: $ cat > test.c int main(void) { size_t pagesz = sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE); int mfd = syscall(SYS_memfd_create, "test", 0); const char *buf = mmap(NULL, 4 * pagesz, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, mfd, 0); unsigned int old = syscall(SYS_personality, 0xffffffff); syscall(SYS_personality, READ_IMPLIES_EXEC | old); syscall(SYS_remap_file_pages, buf, pagesz, 0, 2, 0); syscall(SYS_personality, old); // show the RWX page exists even if W^X policy is enforced int fd = open("/proc/self/maps", O_RDONLY); unsigned char buf2[1024]; while (1) { int ret = read(fd, buf2, 1024); if (ret <= 0) break; write(1, buf2, ret); } close(fd); } $ gcc test.c -o test $ ./test | grep rwx 7f1836c34000-7f1836c35000 rwxs 00002000 00:01 2050 /memfd:test (deleted) [PM: subject line tweaks]

SELinux in enforcing mode with a W^X policy is the default on Android, RHEL/CentOS and Fedora, so the required configuration is common rather than rare.\nPR:L - Any unprivileged local process can do this: `personality()` in `kernel/exec_domain.c:38` performs no capability check, and `remap_file_pages` has no privilege gate whatsoever. No user namespace trick is even needed.\nUI:N - The attacking process performs the entire sequence against its own address space in one self-contained program. No victim action, file open, or mount is required.\nS:U - The vulnerable code and the impacted resource are both governed by the kernel\u0027s own security authority, and the resulting RWX mapping lives in the attacker\u0027s own address space. This is a MAC-policy/mitigation bypass, not a VM, IOMMU, or hypervisor boundary crossing.\nC:H - Defeating W^X lets an attacker inject and run arbitrary code inside an SELinux-confined domain, which yields unrestricted read of all data and credentials that domain can reach (e.g. a confined network daemon\u0027s keys or an Android system service\u0027s data). The skipped hook also drops the `file { read/write/map }` re-validation entirely.\nI:H - The whole purpose of the SELinux `execmem`/`file execute` checks is to stop a memory-write primitive from becoming code execution; bypassing them gives the attacker arbitrary code execution in the confined domain and full modification of anything it controls. This is the same integrity impact as the analogous AIO W^X bypass, CVE-2016-10044.\nA:H - Arbitrary code execution inside a confined domain lets the attacker fully disrupt or terminate the affected service, and the mitigation bypass is the enabling step that completes exploit chains whose payloads can crash or hang the system. Following the higher-severity convention where the ceiling of the bypass is complete compromise of the confined component."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.

Related by attack behaviour

Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
