From: Eric Paris Date: Tue, 4 Dec 2007 16:06:55 +0000 (-0500) Subject: VM/Security: add security hook to do_brk X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5a211a5deabcafdc764817d5b4510c767d317ddc;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git VM/Security: add security hook to do_brk Given a specifically crafted binary do_brk() can be used to get low pages available in userspace virtually memory and can thus be used to circumvent the mmap_min_addr low memory protection. Add security checks in do_brk().
