Subject: [PATCH v2 4/8] futex: don't leak robust_list pointer
Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2016 22:40:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1474663238-22134-5-git-send-email-jann@thejh.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1474663238-22134-1-git-send-email-jann@thejh.net>

This prevents an attacker from determining the robust_list or
compat_robust_list userspace pointer of a process created by executing
a setuid binary. Such an attack could be performed by racing
get_robust_list() with a setuid execution. The impact of this issue is that
an attacker could theoretically bypass ASLR when attacking setuid binaries.

changed in v2:
 - only get_task_struct(p) if p!=NULL (Ben Hutchings)
 - move the -ESRCH return check
