binfmt_elf: safely increment argv pointers
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When building the argv/envp pointers, the envp is needlessly
pre-incremented instead of just continuing after the argv pointers are
finished.  In some (likely impossible) race where the strings could be
changed from userspace between copy_strings() and here, it might be
possible to confuse the envp position.  Instead, just use sp like
everything else.
