From 0eed8711de8e233b06bd85024604252e0855d4fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2019 10:31:09 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Yama: Check for pid death before checking ancestry commit 9474f4e7cd71a633fa1ef93b7daefd44bbdfd482 upstream. It's possible that a pid has died before we take the rcu lock, in which case we can't walk the ancestry list as it may be detached. Instead, check for death first before doing the walk.
