Sin embargo, hay casos en los que el llamador solo est\u00e1 intentando una fusi\u00f3n ostensiblemente y no le importa si falla debido a esta condici\u00f3n. Dado que no queremos introducir una suposici\u00f3n impl\u00edcita de que solo modificamos realmente los VMA despu\u00e9s de que puedan surgir condiciones OOM, agregue una opci\u00f3n 'renunciar a oom' y haga un contrato expl\u00edcito de que, si se establece este indicador, no modificaremos en absoluto ning\u00fan VMA si surge OOM y simplemente nos retiraremos. Dado que ser\u00eda muy inusual que un usuario intentara usar vma_modify() con este indicador activado, pero especificando un rango dentro de un VMA que termina dividi\u00e9ndose (lo cual puede fallar debido a problemas con rlimit, no solo por OOM), a\u00f1adimos una advertencia de depuraci\u00f3n para esta condici\u00f3n. El motivo es la versi\u00f3n de uffd: syzkaller (y el astuto an\u00e1lisis de Pedro Falcato) encontr\u00f3 una forma en la que un fallo inyectado en la asignaci\u00f3n, que desencadena una condici\u00f3n OOM al fusionar las confirmaciones, provocaba que el c\u00f3digo de uffd se confundiera y tratara un valor de error como si fuera un puntero a un VMA. Para evitar esto, utilizamos este nuevo indicador VMG para asegurarnos de que esto nunca ocurra, aprovechando que, si borramos VMAs completas, no queremos que se nos informe de un evento OOM. Muchas gracias a Pedro Falcato por su excelente an\u00e1lisis y a Jann Horn por su perspicaz e inteligente an\u00e1lisis de la situaci\u00f3n, ambos fundamentales en esta soluci\u00f3n."}], "lastModified": "2025-11-06T21:44:26.153", "configurations": [{"nodes": [{"negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "4E18BED3-0115-482C-861A-9ECA8B05EEB2", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.25", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12.19"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "87A94BBB-C489-4F0E-AC35-A6E9E1316FCE", "versionEndExcluding": "6.14", "versionStartIncluding": "6.13.7"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "26175852-4D93-410C-BC8C-C405F2A9D737", "versionEndExcluding": "6.14.4", "versionStartIncluding": "6.14.1"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.14:-:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "7DE421BA-0600-4401-A175-73CAB6A6FB4E"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.14:rc6:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "1759FFB7-531C-41B1-9AE1-FD3D80E0D920"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.14:rc7:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "AD948719-8628-4421-A340-1066314BBD4A"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.15:rc1:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "8D465631-2980-487A-8E65-40AE2B9F8ED1"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.15:rc2:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "4C9D071F-B28E-46EC-AC61-22B913390211"}], "operator": "OR"}]}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"}
