This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled ARM: 8051/1: put_user: fix possible data corruption in put_user 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 3.8.13.25. 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 b78abf3346b4876453c1cfb0f1fd032751120020 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrey Ryabinin <a.ryabinin@samsung.com> Date: Wed, 7 May 2014 08:07:25 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 49/66] ARM: 8051/1: put_user: fix possible data corruption in put_user commit 537094b64b229bf3ad146042f83e74cf6abe59df upstream. According to arm procedure call standart r2 register is call-cloberred. So after the result of x expression was put into r2 any following function call in p may overwrite r2. To fix this, the result of p expression must be saved to the temporary variable before the assigment x expression to __r2.
