From 8c5cf9e5c50dc902713897e10201aa71f3546aa1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Denys Vlasenko Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2012 15:02:40 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ptrace: don't modify flags on PTRACE_SETOPTIONS failure On ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0, ), we used to set those option bits which are known, and then fail with -EINVAL if there are some unknown bits in . This is inconsistent with typical error handling, which does not change any state if input is invalid. This patch changes PTRACE_SETOPTIONS behavior so that in this case, we return -EINVAL and don't change any bits in task->ptrace. It's very unlikely that there is userspace code in the wild which will be affected by this change: it should have the form ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0, PTRACE_O_BOGUSOPT) where PTRACE_O_BOGUSOPT is a constant unknown to the kernel. But kernel headers, naturally, don't contain any PTRACE_O_BOGUSOPTs, thus the only way userspace can use one if it defines one itself. I can't see why anyone would do such a thing deliberately.
