[PATCH] exec: fix use-after-free bug in setup_new_exec()
From: Heiko Carstens
Date: Sat Feb 04 2012 - 04:47:10 EST
Setting the task name is done within setup_new_exec() by accessing
bprm->filename. However this happens after flush_old_exec().
This may result in a use after free bug, flush_old_exec() may
"complete" vfork_done, which will wake up the parent which in turn
may free the passed in filename.
To fix this add a new tcomm field in struct linux_binprm which
contains the now early generated task name until it is used.
Fixes this bug on s390:
