This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled tty: Fix unsafe ldisc reference via ioctl(TIOCGETD) to the linux-4.2.y-queue branch of the 4.2.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-4.2.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 4.2.8-ckt4. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 4.2.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From d6814409bde24b3af28ab6333090e8e4a8e18f92 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Date: Sun, 10 Jan 2016 22:40:55 -0800 Subject: tty: Fix unsafe ldisc reference via ioctl(TIOCGETD) commit 5c17c861a357e9458001f021a7afa7aab9937439 upstream. ioctl(TIOCGETD) retrieves the line discipline id directly from the ldisc because the line discipline id (c_line) in termios is untrustworthy; userspace may have set termios via ioctl(TCSETS*) without actually changing the line discipline via ioctl(TIOCSETD). However, directly accessing the current ldisc via tty->ldisc is unsafe; the ldisc ptr dereferenced may be stale if the line discipline is changing via ioctl(TIOCSETD) or hangup. Wait for the line discipline reference (just like read() or write()) to retrieve the "current" line discipline id.
