------------------------------------------------------ From: Jann Horn jannh@google.com Subject: fs/binfmt_flat.c: make load_flat_shared_library() work
load_flat_shared_library() is broken: It only calls load_flat_file() if prepare_binprm() returns zero, but prepare_binprm() returns the number of bytes read - so this only happens if the file is empty.
Instead, call into load_flat_file() if the number of bytes read is non-negative. (Even if the number of bytes is zero - in that case, load_flat_file() will see nullbytes and return a nice -ENOEXEC.)
In addition, remove the code related to bprm creds and stop using prepare_binprm() - this code is loading a library, not a main executable, and it only actually uses the members "buf", "file" and "filename" of the linux_binprm struct. Instead, call kernel_read() directly.
