From 5a211a5deabcafdc764817d5b4510c767d317ddc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Paris Date: Tue, 4 Dec 2007 11:06:55 -0500 Subject: VM/Security: add security hook to do_brk Given a specifically crafted binary do_brk() can be used to get low pages available in userspace virtually memory and can thus be used to circumvent the mmap_min_addr low memory protection. Add security checks in do_brk().
