From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
commit 404ca80eb5c2727d78cd517d12108b040c522e12 upstream.
A va_list needs to be copied in case it needs to be used twice.
Thanks to Hugh for debugging this issue, leading to various panics.
Tested:
lpq84:~# echo "|/foobar12345 %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h" >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
'produce_core' is simply : main() { *(int *)0 = 1;}
lpq84:~# ./produce_core Segmentation fault (core dumped) lpq84:~# dmesg | tail -1 [ 614.352947] Core dump to |/foobar12345 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 (null) pipe failed
Notice the last argument was replaced by a NULL (we were lucky enough to not crash, but do not try this on your production machine !)
After fix :
lpq83:~# echo "|/foobar12345 %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h" >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern lpq83:~# ./produce_core Segmentation fault lpq83:~# dmesg | tail -1 [ 740.800441] Core dump to |/foobar12345 lpq83 lpq83 lpq83 lpq83 lpq83 lpq83 lpq83 lpq83 lpq83 lpq83 lpq83 lpq83 lpq83 lpq83 lpq83 lpq83 lpq83 lpq83 lpq83 lpq83 pipe failed
