Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ublk: clear VM_MAYWRITE on read-only ublk char device mmap ublk_ch_mmap() rejects mmap requests with VM_WRITE set, but never clears VM_MAYWRITE on the resulting read-only mapping. This allows a userspace daemon to mmap the per-queue command buffer PROT_READ, then upgrade it to PROT_WRITE via mprotect(), since VM_MAYWRITE was never cleared. The command buffer holds struct ublksrv_io_desc entries that are kernel-written ABI; a writable mapping lets an unprivileged daemon process corrupt fields such as addr, op_flags, nr_sectors, and start_sector. Same bug class as the drm/panthor and drm/vc4 VM_MAYWRITE fixes, and the 2026-08-13 ptp/vmclock fix (a5edadbae57e). Verified via mprotect() PoC: before the fix, a PROT_READ mapping can be upgraded to PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE and a write into the command buffer corrupts io_desc fields (confirmed under KASAN). After the fix, mprotect() returns -EACCES.
