Revision bcbda81020c3ee77e2c098cadf3e84f99ca3de17 authored by Chen Jun on 24 September 2021, 22:44:06 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 24 September 2021, 23:13:35 UTC
We get an unexpected value of /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory after running the following program: int main() { int fd = open("/proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory", O_RDWR); write(fd, "1", 1); write(fd, "2", 1); close(fd); } write(fd, "2", 1) will pass *ppos = 1 to proc_dointvec_minmax. proc_dointvec_minmax will return 0 without setting new_policy. t.data = &new_policy; ret = proc_dointvec_minmax(&t, write, buffer, lenp, ppos) -->do_proc_dointvec -->__do_proc_dointvec if (write) { if (proc_first_pos_non_zero_ignore(ppos, table)) goto out; sysctl_overcommit_memory = new_policy; so sysctl_overcommit_memory will be set to an uninitialized value. Check whether new_policy has been changed by proc_dointvec_minmax.
