From 8678ea06852cd1f819b870c773d43df888d15d46 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alban Crequy Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2022 09:56:13 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] maccess: Fix writing offset in case of fault in strncpy_from_kernel_nofault() If a page fault occurs while copying the first byte, this function resets one byte before dst. As a consequence, an address could be modified and leaded to kernel crashes if case the modified address was accessed later.
