Subject: [PATCH] exec: NULL out bprm->argv0 when it is an ERR_PTR
Date: Tue,  5 Nov 2024 10:19:11 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241105181905.work.462-kees@kernel.org> (raw)

Attempting to free an ERR_PTR will not work. ;)

    process 'syz-executor210' launched '/dev/fd/3' with NULL argv: empty string added
    kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/physaddr.c:23!

Set bprm->argv0 to NULL if it fails to get a string from userspace so
that bprm_free() will not try to free an invalid pointer when cleaning up.

Reported-by: syzbot+03e1af5c332f7e0eb84b@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/6729d8d1.050a0220.701a.0017.GAE@google.com
Fixes: 7bdc6fc85c9a ("exec: fix up /proc/pid/comm in the execveat(AT_EMPTY_PATH) case")
