This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled seccomp: fix the usage of get/put_seccomp_filter() in seccomp_get_filter() to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: seccomp-fix-the-usage-of-get-put_seccomp_filter-in-seccomp_get_filter.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 66a733ea6b611aecf0119514d2dddab5f9d6c01e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2017 09:25:30 -0600 Subject: seccomp: fix the usage of get/put_seccomp_filter() in seccomp_get_filter() From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 66a733ea6b611aecf0119514d2dddab5f9d6c01e upstream. As Chris explains, get_seccomp_filter() and put_seccomp_filter() can end up using different filters. Once we drop ->siglock it is possible for task->seccomp.filter to have been replaced by SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_TSYNC.
