Subject: [PATCH] fs/fcntl: return -ESRCH in f_setown when pid/pgid can't be found
Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2017 10:52:55 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170614145255.7767-1-jlayton@redhat.com> (raw)

The current implementation of F_SETOWN doesn't properly vet the argument
passed in. It never returns an error. If the argument doesn't specify a
valid pid/pgid, then we just end up cleaning out the file->f_owner
structure.

What we really want is to only clean that out only in the case where
userland passed in an argument of 0. For anything else, we want to
return ESRCH if it doesn't refer to a valid pid.

The relevant POSIX spec page is here:
