[PATCH] proc: revalidate kernel thread inodes to root:root
From: Alexey Dobriyan
Date: Thu Apr 12 2018 - 18:01:19 EST
task_dump_owner() has the following code:
mm = task->mm;
if (mm) {
if (get_dumpable(mm) != SUID_DUMP_USER) {
uid = ...
}
}
Check for ->mm is buggy -- kernel thread might be borrowing mm
and inode will go to some random uid:gid pair.
