[Redirecting back onto fulldisclosure]

It’s still not clear to me what vulnerability you’re describing. You do two mmaps and, when later double freeing memory, don’t get a segfault. But double freeing is already a (often exploitable) bug. If this is really a vulnerability, please describe a realistic exploit that your PoC is emulating and the impact (is this Linux only? What libc/kernel versions? Have you reported this to a maintainer or linux-kernel@...r?) of this issue.
