Subject: [PATCH] mm: Prevent mapping slab pages to userspace
Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2019 09:38:27 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190125173827.2658-1-willy@infradead.org> (raw)
It's never appropriate to map a page allocated by SLAB into userspace.
A buggy device driver might try this, or an attacker might be able to
find a way to make it happen.
