From: Amanieu d'Antras <amanieu@xxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit 3ead7c52bdb0ab44f4bb1feed505a8323cc12ba7 ] This function may copy the si_addr_lsb field to user mode when it hasn't been initialized, which can leak kernel stack data to user mode. Just checking the value of si_code is insufficient because the same si_code value is shared between multiple signals. This is solved by checking the value of si_signo in addition to si_code.
