[PATCH 4.4 33/57] exec: Limit arg stack to at most 75% of _STK_LIM

Show all headers | View raw

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

commit da029c11e6b12f321f36dac8771e833b65cec962 upstream.

To avoid pathological stack usage or the need to special-case setuid
execs, just limit all arg stack usage to at most 75% of _STK_LIM (6MB).
