In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
memfd: deny writeable mappings when implying SEAL_WRITE
When SEAL_EXEC is added, SEAL_WRITE is implied to make W^X. But the implied seal is set after the check that makes sure the memfd can not have any writable mappings. This means one can use SEAL_EXEC to apply SEAL_WRITE while having writeable mappings.
This breaks the contract that SEAL_WRITE provides and can be used by an attacker to pass a memfd that appears to be write sealed but can still be modified arbitrarily.
Fix this by adding the implied seals before the call for mapping_deny_writable() is done.
