[PATCH 4.6 16/56] arm: oabi compat: add missing access checks

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun Aug 14 2016 - 16:41:59 EST


4.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dave Weinstein <olorin@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7de249964f5578e67b99699c5f0b405738d820a2 upstream.

Add access checks to sys_oabi_epoll_wait() and sys_oabi_semtimedop().
This fixes CVE-2016-3857, a local privilege escalation under
CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT.
