[added to the 3.18 stable tree] signal: fix information leak in copy_siginfo_to_user

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

 



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 c08a75d950725cdd87c19232a5a3850c51520359 ]

commit 26135022f85105ad725cda103fa069e29e83bd16 upstream.

This function may copy the si_addr_lsb, si_lower and si_upper fields to
user mode when they haven'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.
