mm: fix use-after-free when anon vma name is used after vma is freed
When adjacent vmas are being merged it can result in the vma that was originally passed to madvise_update_vma being destroyed. In the current implementation, the name parameter passed to madvise_update_vma points directly to vma->anon_name and it is used after the call to vma_merge. In the cases when vma_merge merges the original vma and destroys it, this might result in UAF. For that the original vma would have to hold the anon_vma_name with the last reference. The following vma would need to contain a different anon_vma_name object with the same string. Such scenario is shown below: madvise_vma_behavior(vma) madvise_update_vma(vma, ..., anon_name == vma->anon_name) vma_merge(vma) __vma_adjust(vma) <-- merges vma with adjacent one vm_area_free(vma) <-- frees the original vma replace_vma_anon_name(anon_name) <-- UAF of vma->anon_name Fix this by raising the name refcount and stabilizing it.
