Indeed - updated patch attached.

Subject: [PATCH] fs/proc: Don't expose absolute kernel addresses via wchan

So wchan leaks absolute kernel addresses to unprivileged
user-space, of kernel  functions that sleep:

static int proc_pid_wchan(struct seq_file *m, struct pid_namespace *ns,
                          struct pid *pid, struct task_struct *task)
{
        unsigned long wchan;
        char symname[KSYM_NAME_LEN];

        wchan = get_wchan(task);

        if (lookup_symbol_name(wchan, symname) < 0) {
                if (!ptrace_may_access(task, PTRACE_MODE_READ))
                        return 0;
                seq_printf(m, "%lu", wchan);
        } else {
                seq_printf(m, "%s", symname);
        }

        return 0;
}

So for example it trivially leaks the KASLR offset to any local
attacker:

  fomalhaut:~> printf "%016lx\n" $(cat /proc/$$/stat | cut -d' ' -f35)
  ffffffff8123b380

Most real-life uses of wchan are symbolic:

  ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm

and procps uses /proc/PID/wchan, not the absolute address in
/proc/PID/stat:

  triton:~/tip> strace -f ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm 2>&1 | grep wchan | tail -1
  open("/proc/30833/wchan", O_RDONLY)     = 6

These days there's very little legitimate reason user-space
would be interested in  the absolute address. The absolute
address is mostly historic: from the days when  we didn't have
kallsyms and user-space procps had to do the decoding itself via
the System.map.

So this patch sets all numeric output to 0 and keeps the
symbolic output in /proc/PID/wchan.

( The absolute sleep address can generally still be profiled via
  perf, by tasks with sufficient privileges. )
