Subject: [PATCH 1/2] exec: do not leave bprm->interp on stack
 
If a series of scripts are executed, each triggering module loading via
unprintable bytes in the script header, kernel stack contents can leak
into the command line.
 
Normally execution of binfmt_script and binfmt_misc happens recursively.
However, when modules are enabled, and unprintable bytes exist in the
bprm->buf, execution will restart after attempting to load matching binfmt
modules.  Unfortunately, the logic in binfmt_script and binfmt_misc does
not expect to get restarted.  They leave bprm->interp pointing to their
local stack.  This means on restart bprm->interp is left pointing into
unused stack memory which can then be copied into the userspace argv
areas.
 
After additional study, it seems that both recursion and restart remains
the desirable way to handle exec with scripts, misc, and modules.  As
such, we need to protect the changes to interp.
 
This changes the logic to require allocation for any changes to the
bprm->interp.  To avoid adding a new kmalloc to every exec, the default
value is left as-is.  Only when passing through binfmt_script or
binfmt_misc does an allocation take place.
 
For a proof of concept, see DoTest.sh from:
