------------------- This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment. -------------------
commit b9e146d8eb3b9ecae5086d373b50fa0c1f3e7f0f upstream.
This fixes a kernel memory contents leak via the tkill and tgkill syscalls for compat processes.
This is visible in the siginfo_t->_sifields._rt.si_sigval.sival_ptr field when handling signals delivered from tkill.
The place of the infoleak:
int copy_siginfo_to_user32(compat_siginfo_t __user *to, siginfo_t *from) { ... put_user_ex(ptr_to_compat(from->si_ptr), &to->si_ptr); ... }
