coredump: fix va_list corruption
commit 404ca80eb5c2727d78cd517d12108b040c522e12 upstream.
A va_list needs to be copied in case it needs to be used twice.
Thanks to Hugh for debugging this issue, leading to various panics.
Tested:
lpq84:~# echo "|/foobar12345 %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h" >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
'produce_core' is simply : main() { *(int *)0 = 1;}
lpq84:~# ./produce_core
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
lpq84:~# dmesg | tail -1
[ 614.352947] Core dump to |/foobar12345 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 (null) pipe failed
Notice the last argument was replaced by a NULL (we were lucky enough to
not crash, but do not try this on your production machine !)
After fix :
lpq83:~# echo "|/foobar12345 %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h" >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
lpq83:~# ./produce_core
