CVE-2024-47745 is a Linux kernel protection-mechanism failure in the remap_file_pages() system-call handler. The handler invoked do_mmap() directly without first calling the security_mmap_file() Linux Security Module hook. A process that enables the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality and uses remap_file_pages() on a writable file-backed mapping can consequently obtain a writable and executable mapping, bypassing an SELinux-enforced W^X policy. The fix invokes security_mmap_file() with the requested protection before do_mmap() is called.

A Linux kernel memory-management flaw in which remap_file_pages() did not call the security_mmap_file() LSM hook.
A Linux kernel remap_file_pages() flaw that could bypass SELinux-enforced W^X memory-execution policy by remapping writable pages as RWX when READ_IMPLIES_EXEC is set. The fix invokes the security_mmap_file() LSM hook before do_mmap().
