| |
Linux 2.4.24 contains in arch/i386/mm/fault.c [around line 270] the following code.
tsk->thread.error_code = error_code;
Openwall 2.4.24-ow1 changes (fixes?) this to:
if (address < TASK_SIZE) tsk->thread.error_code = error_code; else tsk->thread.error_code = 0;
While Linux 2.4.25-pre6 contains:
/* Kernel addresses are always protection faults */ tsk->thread.error_code = error_code | (address >= TASK_SIZE);
I'm assuming this means the openwall change was an error?
Cheers, MaZe.
