[PATCH 5.4 01/34] ptrace: Prevent kernel-infoleak in ptrace_get_syscall_info()

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

 



From: Peilin Ye <yepeilin.cs@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 0032ce0f85a269a006e91277be5fdbc05fad8426 upstream.

ptrace_get_syscall_info() is potentially copying uninitialized stack
memory to userspace, since the compiler may leave a 3-byte hole near the
beginning of `info`. Fix it by adding a padding field to `struct
ptrace_syscall_info`.

Fixes: 201766a20e30 ("ptrace: add PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO request")
