      exec: fix use-after-free bug in setup_new_exec() · 96e02d15
      Heiko Carstens authored
      Setting the task name is done within setup_new_exec() by accessing
      bprm->filename. However this happens after flush_old_exec().
      This may result in a use after free bug, flush_old_exec() may
      "complete" vfork_done, which will wake up the parent which in turn
      may free the passed in filename.
      To fix this add a new tcomm field in struct linux_binprm which
      contains the now early generated task name until it is used.
      
      Fixes this bug on s390:
