From 128b8546a83a9e37448bc126e1045dc1db291165 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masato Noguchi Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2007 21:54:30 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [POWERPC] spufs: avoid accessing kernel memory through mmapped /mem node I found an exploit in current kernel. Currently, there is no range check about mmapping "/mem" node in spufs. Thus, an application can access privilege memory region. In case this kernel already worked on a public server, I send this information only here. If there are such servers in somewhere, please replace it, ASAP.
