From 8fde12ca79aff9b5ba951fce1a2641901b8d8e64 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2019 10:49:19 -0700 Subject: mm: prevent get_user_pages() from overflowing page refcount If the page refcount wraps around past zero, it will be freed while there are still four billion references to it. One of the possible avenues for an attacker to try to make this happen is by doing direct IO on a page multiple times. This patch makes get_user_pages() refuse to take a new page reference if there are already more than two billion references to the page.
