From 4ac313111018cb44ecc250445de5ccb93026a980 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rich Felker Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2015 15:11:06 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] fs/binfmt_elf_fdpic.c: fix brk area overlap with stack on NOMMU On NOMMU archs, the FDPIC ELF loader sets up the usable brk range to overlap with all but the last PAGE_SIZE bytes of the stack. This leads to catastrophic memory reuse/corruption if brk is used. Fix by setting the brk area to zero size to disable its use.
