When ashmem file is being mmapped the resulting vma->vm_file points to the backing shmem file with the generic fops that do not check ashmem permissions like fops of ashmem do. Fix that by disallowing mapping operation for backing shmem file.
Looks good, but I think the commit message is confusing. I had to read the code a couple times to understand what's going on since there are no links to a PoC for the security issue, in the commit message. I think a better message could have been:
When ashmem file is mmapped, the resulting vma->vm_file points to the backing shmem file with the generic fops that do not check ashmem permissions like fops of ashmem do. If an mremap is done on the ashmem region, then the permission checks will be skipped. Fix that by disallowing mapping operation on the backing shmem file.
Sent v2 with the suggested change.
Or did I miss something?
thanks!
