The README has been claiming "each module credits the original CVE
reporter and PoC author in its NOTICE.md" since v0.1.0, but only
copy_fail_family actually shipped one. Fixed.
modules/<name>/NOTICE.md (×19 new + 1 existing): per-module
research credit covering CVE ID, discoverer, original advisory
URL where public, upstream fix commit, IAMROOT's role.
iamroot.c: new --dump-offsets subcommand. Resolves kernel offsets
via the existing core/offsets.c four-source chain (env →
/proc/kallsyms → /boot/System.map → embedded table), then emits
a ready-to-paste C struct entry for kernel_table[]. Run once
as root on a target kernel build; upstream via PR. Eliminates
fabricating offsets — every shipped entry traces back to a
`iamroot --dump-offsets` invocation on a real kernel.
docs/OFFSETS.md: documents the --dump-offsets workflow.
CVES.md: notes the NOTICE.md convention + offset dump tool.
iamroot.c: bump IAMROOT_VERSION 0.3.0 → 0.3.1.

# NOTICE — stackrot (CVE-2023-3269)
|
|
|
|
## Vulnerability
|
|
|
|
**CVE-2023-3269** — Maple-tree VMA-split UAF (race between mremap and
|
|
fork+fault) → kernel R/W via stale anon_vma_chain reference.
|
|
|
|
## Research credit
|
|
|
|
Discovered and disclosed by **Ruihan Li** (Peking University),
|
|
July 2023.
|
|
|
|
Original advisory: <https://github.com/lrh2000/StackRot>
|
|
Writeup: <https://lkmidas.github.io/posts/20230724-stackrot/>
|
|
|
|
Upstream fix: mainline 6.5-rc1 (commit `0503ea8f5ba73`, July 2023).
|
|
Branch backports: 6.4.4 / 6.3.13 / 6.1.37.
|
|
|
|
## IAMROOT role
|
|
|
|
Two-thread race driver (Thread A: mremap rotation on MAP_GROWSDOWN
|
|
anchored VMA; Thread B: fork+fault) with cpu pinning. kmalloc-192
|
|
spray for anon_vma_chain reclaim. Bounded budget: 3 s default,
|
|
30 s with `--full-chain`.
|
|
|
|
**Honest reliability assessment:** ~<1% race-win per run on a
|
|
vulnerable kernel. Ruihan Li's public PoC averages minutes-to-hours
|
|
and needs a much wider VMA-staging matrix to be reliable. The
|
|
shared finisher's 3 s sentinel timeout handles the overwhelmingly
|
|
common no-land outcome gracefully — module returns EXPLOIT_FAIL
|
|
honestly rather than claim root on a race that didn't win.
