[patch 113/115] binfmt_elf: safely increment argv pointers

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

 



From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: binfmt_elf: safely increment argv pointers

When building the argv/envp pointers, the envp is needlessly
pre-incremented instead of just continuing after the argv pointers are
finished.  In some (likely impossible) race where the strings could be
changed from userspace between copy_strings() and here, it might be
possible to confuse the envp position.  Instead, just use sp like
everything else.
