From 96e02d1586782eadf051fa3d6bc4132d2447ac2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiko Carstens Date: Sat, 4 Feb 2012 10:47:10 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] exec: fix use-after-free bug in setup_new_exec() Setting the task name is done within setup_new_exec() by accessing bprm->filename. However this happens after flush_old_exec(). This may result in a use after free bug, flush_old_exec() may "complete" vfork_done, which will wake up the parent which in turn may free the passed in filename. To fix this add a new tcomm field in struct linux_binprm which contains the now early generated task name until it is used.
