[patch 091/140] lib/list_debug.c: print unmangled addresses

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

 



From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: lib/list_debug.c: print unmangled addresses

The entire point of printing the pointers in list_debug is to see if
there's any useful information in them (eg poison values, ASCII, etc);
obscuring them to see if they compare equal makes them much less useful. 
If an attacker can force this message to be printed, we've already lost.
