From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: From: Greg Kroah-Hartman To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman , stable@vger.kernel.org, Mateusz Guzik , Konstantin Khlebnikov , Richard Guy Briggs , Paul Moore Subject: [PATCH 4.7 055/184] audit: fix exe_file access in audit_exe_compare Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2016 19:39:49 +0200 Message-Id: <20160922174051.063435936@linuxfoundation.org> In-Reply-To: <20160922174048.653794923@linuxfoundation.org> References: <20160922174048.653794923@linuxfoundation.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: 4.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mateusz Guzik commit 5efc244346f9f338765da3d592f7947b0afdc4b5 upstream. Prior to the change the function would blindly deference mm, exe_file and exe_file->f_inode, each of which could have been NULL or freed. Use get_task_exe_file to safely obtain stable exe_file.
