From e12145cf1c3a8077e6d9f575711e38dd7d8a3ebc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2020 13:37:02 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] lkdtm/heap: Avoid edge and middle of slabs Har har, after I moved the slab freelist pointer into the middle of the slab, now it looks like the contents are getting poisoned. Adjust the test to avoid the freelist pointer again.
