That's potentially a problem, as that [in]directly exposes meta-information about pagecache / memory mapping state even about memory not strictly belonging to the process executing the syscall, opening possibilities for sidechannel attacks. Change the semantics of mincore() so that it only reveals pagecache information for non-anonymous mappings that belog to files that the calling process could (if it tried to) successfully open for writing; otherwise we'd be including shared non-exclusive mappings, which - is the sidechannel - is not the usecase for mincore(), as that's primarily used for data, not (shared) text [jkosina@suse.cz: v2] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190312141708.6652-2-vbabka@suse.cz [mhocko@suse.com: restructure can_do_mincore() conditions] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/nycvar.YFH.7.76.1903062342020.19912@cbobk.fhfr.pm Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka Acked-by: Josh Snyder Acked-by: Michal Hocko Originally-by: Linus Torvalds Originally-by: Dominique Martinet Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Dave Chinner Cc: Kevin Easton Cc: Matthew Wilcox Cc: Cyril Hrubis Cc: Tejun Heo Cc: Kirill A.
