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

userfaultfd: prevent registration of special VMAs

Vova Tokarev says:

  userfaultfd allows registration on shadow stack VMAs.  With userfaultfd
  access, you can register on the shadow stack, discard a page ... and
  inject a page with chosen return addresses via UFFDIO_COPY.

Update vma_can_userfault() to reject VM_SHADOW_STACK.

While on it, also reject VM_SPECIAL so that if a driver would implement
vm_uffd_ops, it wouldn't be possible to register special VMAs with
userfaultfd.

Since VM_SPECIAL includes VM_DONTEXPAND which is set but hugetlb, exclude
hugetlb VMAs from the check for VM_SPECIAL.
