In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Take mmap_lock in zap_pages()
zap_vma_range() requires the owning mm's mmap_lock to be held. Taking mmap_read_lock under arena->lock would AB-BA against
arena_vm_close() and arena_map_mmap(), both of which run with
mmap_write_lock held and then acquire arena->lock. Instead drop
arena->lock, mmget_not_zero() the vma's mm, take mmap_read_lock, and
re-resolve the vma via find_vma() since it may have been unmapped or
replaced while waiting.
Track processed vmls with a per-call generation in vml->zap_gen and
serialize zap_pages() callers with a new arena->zap_mutex so
concurrent callers on different uaddr ranges do not mark each other's
vmls processed before the zap is done.
