prctl: fix PR_SET_MM_AUXV kernel stack leak
Doing a prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_AUXV, addr, 1); will copy 1 byte from userspace to (quite big) on-stack array and then stash everything to mm->saved_auxv. AT_NULL terminator will be inserted at the very end. /proc/*/auxv handler will find that AT_NULL terminator and copy original stack contents to userspace. This devious scheme requires CAP_SYS_RESOURCE. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
