From 8eeee4e2f04fc551f50c9d9847da2d73d7d33728 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2009 00:27:10 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] send_sigio_to_task: sanitize the usage of fown->signum send_sigio_to_task() reads fown->signum several times, we can race with F_SETSIG which changes ->signum lockless. In theory, this can fool security checks or we can call group_send_sig_info() with the wrong ->si_signo which does not match "int sig". Change the code to cache ->signum.
