[PATCH] fs/binfmt_elf.c: fix GPF when dereferencing invalid interpreter

From: Nikitas Angelinas
Date: Sat Mar 30 2019 - 10:00:54 EST


Syzkaller found an issue where an invalid interpreter pointer is
dereferenced in load_elf_binary()->allow_write_access(). Fix this by
jumping to a different label in the cleanup path.

This patch applies against the latest linux-next tree. I have not tested
that the patch addresses the issue, but it should, imho.
