From aa1f1a639621672b68f654dc815a7d8298ff396f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2016 22:45:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] lib/syscall: Pin the task stack in collect_syscall() This will avoid a potential read-after-free if collect_syscall() (e.g. /proc/PID/syscall) is called on an exiting task.
