Subject: [PATCH] ARC: MM: fix UB and kernel resourse leak in do_page_fault
Date: Wed,  7 Nov 2018 15:12:49 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181107121249.6657-1-Eugeniy.Paltsev@synopsys.com> (raw)

Commit 15773ae938d8 ("signal/arc: Use force_sig_fault where
appropriate") adds undefined behaviour and kernel resource leak
to userspace in ARC do_page_fault() implementation.

This happens because we don't initialize si_code variable after we
switch to force_sig_fault using. si_code (as a part of siginfo_t
structure) was previously initialized by clear_siginfo(&info) call
which was removed.

Undefined behaviour path:
