commit 8bb2ee192e482c5d500df9f2b1b26a560bd3026f upstream.
do_task_stat() accesses IP and SP of a task without bumping reference
count of a stack (which became an entity with independent lifetime at
some point).
Steps to reproduce:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/resource.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
int main(void)
{
setrlimit(RLIMIT_CORE, &(struct rlimit){});
while (1) {
char buf[64];
char buf2[4096];
pid_t pid;
int fd;
pid = fork();
if (pid == 0) {
*(volatile int *)0 = 0;
}
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "/proc/%u/stat", pid);
fd = open(buf, O_RDONLY);
read(fd, buf2, sizeof(buf2));
close(fd);
waitpid(pid, NULL, 0);
}
return 0;
}

race is hit and correctly mitigated.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
