The patch titled Subject: proc: fix PAGE_SIZE limit of /proc/$PID/cmdline has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is proc-fix-page_size-limit-of-proc-pid-cmdline.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/proc-fix-page_size-limit-of-proc-pid-cmdline.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/proc-fix-page_size-limit-of-proc-pid-cmdline.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: proc: fix PAGE_SIZE limit of /proc/$PID/cmdline Convert /proc/$PID/cmdline to seq_file interface. XXX This one must be buggy. seq_file buffer is adjustable, so userspace can execute itself with huge command line (which can be arbitrarily long now), then read 1 byte. Voila, whole command line now is in kmalloced/vmalloced memory. Imposing limit is trivial but equally lame to current PAGE_SIZE limit.
