From: Kees Cook Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2012 18:38:13 +0000 (-0700) Subject: Yama: handle 32-bit userspace prctl X-Git-Tag: v3.4.13~13 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7d0fcfec4c491eb3c815929be5512ae8d1886553;p=karo-tx-linux.git Yama: handle 32-bit userspace prctl commit 2e4930eb7c8fb20a39dfb5f8a8f80402710dcea8 upstream. When running a 64-bit kernel and receiving prctls from a 32-bit userspace, the "-1" used as an unsigned long will end up being misdetected. The kernel is looking for 0xffffffffffffffff instead of 0xffffffff. Since prctl lacks a distinct compat interface, Yama needs to handle this translation itself. As such, support either value as meaning PR_SET_PTRACER_ANY, to avoid breaking the ABI for 64-bit.
