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.
