Subject: [PATCH] proc: fixup empty ARGV case for /proc/$PID/cmdline
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2015 23:04:03 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150701200403.GA22223@p183.telecom.by> (raw)
/proc/*/cmdline code checks if it should look at ENVP area by checking
last byte of ARGV area:
rv = access_remote_vm(mm, arg_end - 1, &c, 1, 0);
if (rv <= 0)
goto out_free_page;
If ARGV is somehow made empty (by doing execve(..., NULL, ...) or
manually setting ->arg_start and ->arg_end to equal values), the decision
will be based on byte which doesn't even belong to ARGV/ENVP.
So, quickly check if ARGV area is empty and report 0 to match previous
behaviour.
