[PATCH 08/16] ptrace: Only populate last_siginfo from ptrace

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Wed May 18 2022 - 18:55:25 EST


The code in ptrace_signal to populate siginfo if the signal number
changed is buggy. If the tracer contined the tracee using
ptrace_detach it is guaranteed to use the real_parent (or possibly a
new tracer) but definitely not the origional tracer to populate si_pid
and si_uid.

Fix this bug by only updating siginfo from the tracer so that the
tracers pid and the tracers uid are always used.

If it happens that ptrace_resume or ptrace_detach don't have
a signal to continue with clear siginfo.

This is a very old bug that has been fixable since commit 1669ce53e2ff
("Add PTRACE_GETSIGINFO and PTRACE_SETSIGINFO") when last_siginfo was
introduced and the tracer could change siginfo.

Fixes: v2.1.68
