From 5883f57ca0008ffc93e09cbb9847a1928e50c6f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2011 16:42:53 -0700 Subject: proc: protect mm start_code/end_code in /proc/pid/stat While mm->start_stack was protected from cross-uid viewing (commit f83ce3e6b02d5 ("proc: avoid information leaks to non-privileged processes")), the start_code and end_code values were not. This would allow the text location of a PIE binary to leak, defeating ASLR. Note that the value "1" is used instead of "0" for a protected value since "ps", "killall", and likely other readers of /proc/pid/stat, take start_code of "0" to mean a kernel thread and will misbehave. Thanks to Brad Spengler for pointing this out.
