[PATCH 1/3] mmap: protect from stack expantion into low vm addresses

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add security checks to make sure we are not attempting to expand the
stack into memory protected by mmap_min_addr

** Be very careful applying/rediffing this patch.  Standard 3 lines of
context from git diff will misapply the first hunk to expand_upwards
instead of properly in expand_downwards.  This patch was generated using
-U 4 to make sure it applies in the correct place.  **
