Use access mode instead of open flags to determine needed permissions (CVE-2008-0001)

2008-01-14T20:17:39Z

patch 974a9f0b47da74e28f68b9c8645c3786aa5ace1a in mainline Way back when (in commit 834f2a4a1554dc5b2598038b3fe8703defcbe467, aka "VFS: Allow the filesystem to return a full file pointer on open intent" to be exact), Trond changed the open logic to keep track of the original flags to a file open, in order to pass down the the intent of a dentry lookup to the low-level filesystem. However, when doing that reorganization, it changed the meaning of namei_flags, and thus inadvertently changed the test of access mode for directories (and RO filesystem) to use the wrong flag. So fix those test back to use access mode ("acc_mode") rather than the open flag ("flag"). Issue noticed by Bill Roman at Datalight.

hwmon: (w83627ehf) Be more careful when changing VID input level

2008-01-09T17:14:03Z

Already in Linus' tree: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=58e6e78119da2bdade9f6f588155f0320072b76b Fix for: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9634 The VID input level change has been reported to cause trouble. Be more careful in this respect: * Only change the level on the W83627EHF/EHG. The W83627DHG is more complex in this respect. * Don't change the level if the VID pins are in output mode. * Only set the level to TTL if VRM 9.x is used.
