ipc: sysvsem: refuse clone(CLONE_SYSVSEM|CLONE_NEWIPC)
CLONE_NEWIPC|CLONE_SYSVSEM interaction isn't handled properly. This can cause a kernel memory corruption. CLONE_NEWIPC must detach from the existing undo lists. Fix, part 3: refuse clone(CLONE_SYSVSEM|CLONE_NEWIPC). With unshare, specifying CLONE_SYSVSEM means unshare the sysvsem. So it seems reasonable that CLONE_NEWIPC without CLONE_SYSVSEM would just imply CLONE_SYSVSEM. However with clone, specifying CLONE_SYSVSEM means *share* the sysvsem. So calling clone(CLONE_SYSVSEM|CLONE_NEWIPC) is explicitly asking for something we can't allow. So return -EINVAL in that case. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: cleanups] Signed-off-by: Serge E.
