Subject: [04/13] x86_64 memleak from malicious 32bit elf program
Date: Tue, 2 Aug 2005 23:52:20 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050803065220.GS7762@shell0.pdx.osdl.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20050803064439.GO7762@shell0.pdx.osdl.net>

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

malicious 32bit app can have an elf section at 0xffffe000.  During
exec of this app, we will have a memory leak as insert_vm_struct() is
not checking for return value in syscall32_setup_pages() and thus not
freeing the vma allocated for the vsyscall page.

Check the return value and free the vma incase of failure.
