CVE-2026-80724 (GCVE-0-2026-80724)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-08-28 07:03 – Updated: 2026-08-28 07:03

Title

ptp: vmclock: prevent read-only mappings from becoming writable

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ptp: vmclock: prevent read-only mappings from becoming writable vmclock_miscdev_mmap() rejects writable mappings of the shared vmclock ABI page with -EROFS, but leaves VM_MAYWRITE set. Userspace can map the page read-only and then upgrade it to writable with mprotect(), after which the guest can corrupt the host-written timekeeping data (sequence counter, UTC time, TSC offset) that the vmclock ABI defines as read-only. Clear VM_MAYWRITE on the read-only path so the mapping cannot be upgraded, as i915 does for its read-only objects and as fixed in drm/vc4 (CVE-2026-68445) and drm/panthor (CVE-2024-53071).

GHSA-66MV-WQ2C-77C3

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-28 09:31 – Updated: 2026-08-28 09:31

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ptp: vmclock: prevent read-only mappings from becoming writable

vmclock_miscdev_mmap() rejects writable mappings of the shared vmclock ABI page with -EROFS, but leaves VM_MAYWRITE set. Userspace can map the page read-only and then upgrade it to writable with mprotect(), after which the guest can corrupt the host-written timekeeping data (sequence counter, UTC time, TSC offset) that the vmclock ABI defines as read-only.

Clear VM_MAYWRITE on the read-only path so the mapping cannot be upgraded, as i915 does for its read-only objects and as fixed in drm/vc4 (CVE-2026-68445) and drm/panthor (CVE-2024-53071).
