Subject: [PATCH 6.1 049/119] binder: fix UAF of alloc->vma in race with munmap()

commit d1d8875c8c13517f6fd1ff8d4d3e1ac366a17e07 upstream.

[ cmllamas: clean forward port from commit 015ac18be7de ("binder: fix
  UAF of alloc->vma in race with munmap()") in 5.10 stable. It is needed
  in mainline after the revert of commit a43cfc87caaf ("android: binder:
  stop saving a pointer to the VMA") as pointed out by Liam. The commit
  log and tags have been tweaked to reflect this. ]

In commit 720c24192404 ("ANDROID: binder: change down_write to
down_read") binder assumed the mmap read lock is sufficient to protect
alloc->vma inside binder_update_page_range(). This used to be accurate
until commit dd2283f2605e ("mm: mmap: zap pages with read mmap_sem in
munmap"), which now downgrades the mmap_lock after detaching the vma
from the rbtree in munmap(). Then it proceeds to teardown and free the
vma with only the read lock held.

This means that accesses to alloc->vma in binder_update_page_range() now
will race with vm_area_free() in munmap() and can cause a UAF as shown
in the following KASAN trace:

  ==================================================================

To prevent the race above, revert back to taking the mmap write lock
inside binder_update_page_range(). One might expect an increase of mmap
lock contention. However, binder already serializes these calls via top
level alloc->mutex. Also, there was no performance impact shown when
running the binder benchmark tests.

Fixes: dd2283f2605e ("mm: mmap: zap pages with read mmap_sem in munmap")
