BUG_ON() on mips kernels 4.17.2 and earlier (old but alive)
This is old but alive.
On mips kernel 4.17.2 and earlier unprivileged user can trigger
BUG_ON() possibly causing denial of service on the whole machine.
Suggested patches from 2013 are in the thread at:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/mips/msg73398.html
in 4.17.2 ./kernel/exit.c
do_group_exit(int exit_code)
{
struct signal_struct *sig = current->signal;
BUG_ON(exit_code & 0x80);
|do_group_exit| is called from
./kernel/signal.c:2482: do_group_exit(ksig->info.si_signo);
Appears to me si_signo can be 0x80 (in decimal 128) because of:
arch/mips/include/uapi/asm/signal.h:15:#define _NSIG 128
Probably testcase will be:
$kill -128 `pidof program`
