| |
From: Bastian Blank <bastian@waldi.eu.org>
The commit 8811930dc74a503415b35c4a79d14fb0b408a361 ("splice: missing user pointer access verification") added access_ok() to copy_from_user_mmap_sem() which only ensures we can copy the struct iovecs from userspace to the kernel but we also must check whether we can access the actual memory region pointed to by the struct iovec to close the local root exploit.
