[PATCH] fork: fail on non-zero higher 32 bits of args.exit_signal
From: Eugene Syromiatnikov
Date: Tue Sep 10 2019 - 07:57:48 EST
Previously, higher 32 bits of exit_signal fields were lost when
copied to the kernel args structure (that uses int as a type for the
respective field). Fail with EINVAL if these are set as it looks like
there's no sane reason to accept them.
* kernel/fork.c (copy_clone_args_from_user): Fail with -EINVAL if
args.exit_signal converted to unsigned int is not equal to the original
value.
