[PATCH] IPC: fix potential user leak
<pre class="simple">
When user locks an ipc shmem segmant with SHM_LOCK ctl and the
segment is already locked the shmem_lock() function returns 0. After this the subsequent code leaks the existing user struct:
== ipc/shm.c: sys_shmctl() ==
<source lang="c">... err = shmem_lock(shp-&gt;shm_file, 1, user); if (!err) { shp-&gt;shm_perm.mode |= SHM_LOCKED; shp-&gt;mlock_user = user; } ...</source>
Other results of this are:
1. # the new shp-&gt;mlock_user is not get-ed and will point to freed memory when the task dies.2. # the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is screwed on both user structs.
The exploit looks like this:
My solution is to return 0 to the userspace and do not change the
segment's user.
