From 0ec76a110f432e98277e464b82ace8dd66571689 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2006 01:50:15 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] NOMMU: Check that access_process_vm() has a valid target Check that access_process_vm() is accessing a valid mapping in the target process. This limits ptrace() accesses and accesses through /proc//maps to only those regions actually mapped by a program.
