[PATCH mm] kfence: zero guard page after out-of-bounds access

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



After an out-of-bounds accesses, zero the guard page before
re-protecting in kfence_guarded_free(). On one hand this helps make the
failure mode of subsequent out-of-bounds accesses more deterministic,
but could also prevent certain information leaks.
