The patch titled Subject: proc: do not allow negative offsets on /proc/<pid>/environ has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is proc-do-not-allow-negative-offsets-on-proc-pid-environ.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: Djalal Harouni <tixxdz@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: proc: do not allow negative offsets on /proc/<pid>/environ __mem_open() which is called by both /proc/<pid>/environ and /proc/<pid>/mem ->open() handlers will allow the use of negative offsets. /proc/<pid>/mem has negative offsets but not /proc/<pid>/environ. Clean this by moving the 'force FMODE_UNSIGNED_OFFSET flag' to mem_open() to allow negative offsets only on /proc/<pid>/mem.
