Subject: [PATCH] proc/pid/cmdline: Handle invalid cmdline change failures correctly.
Date: Sat, 03 Oct 2009 00:07:12 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1254542832.5405.6.camel@hurina> (raw)
Handle access_process_vm() failures correctly in /proc/pid/cmdline.
This bug might have leaked kernel memory to userspace.
