commit b7e24eb1caa5f8da20d405d262dba67943aedc42 upstream. cgroup_mkdir() have restriction on newline usage in names: $ mkdir $'/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test\ntest2' mkdir: cannot create directory '/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test\ntest2': Invalid argument But in cgroup1_rename() such check is missed. This allows us to make /proc/<pid>/cgroup unparsable: $ mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test $ mv /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test $'/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test\ntest2' $ echo $$ > $'/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test\ntest2' $ cat /proc/self/cgroup 11:pids:/ 10:freezer:/ 9:hugetlb:/ 8:cpuset:/ 7:blkio:/user.slice 6:memory:/user.slice 5:net_cls,net_prio:/ 4:perf_event:/ 3:devices:/user.slice 2:cpu,cpuacct:/test test2 1:name=systemd:/ 0::/ Signed-off-by: Alexander Kuznetsov <wwfq@yandex-team.ru> Reported-by: Andrey Krasichkov <buglloc@yandex-team.ru> Acked-by: Dmitry Yakunin <zeil@yandex-team.ru> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
