This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled uml: check length in exitcode_proc_write() to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.8.13.13. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 364d11a0f36ed035a0adf09699da8d8b710a553c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2013 22:06:04 +0300 Subject: uml: check length in exitcode_proc_write() commit 201f99f170df14ba52ea4c52847779042b7a623b upstream. We don't cap the size of buffer from the user so we could write past the end of the array here. Only root can write to this file.
