TTY: fix atime/mtime regression

2013-05-01T16:41:03Z

commit 37b7f3c76595e23257f61bd80b223de8658617ee upstream. In commit b0de59b5733d ("TTY: do not update atime/mtime on read/write") we removed timestamps from tty inodes to fix a security issue and waited if something breaks. Well, 'w', the utility to find out logged users and their inactivity time broke. It shows that users are inactive since the time they logged in. To revert to the old behaviour while still preventing attackers to guess the password length, we update the timestamps in one-minute intervals by this patch.

TTY: do not update atime/mtime on read/write

2013-05-01T16:41:03Z

commit b0de59b5733d18b0d1974a060860a8b5c1b36a2e upstream. On http://vladz.devzero.fr/013_ptmx-timing.php, we can see how to find out length of a password using timestamps of /dev/ptmx. It is documented in "Timing Analysis of Keystrokes and Timing Attacks on SSH". To avoid that problem, do not update time when reading from/writing to a TTY. I am afraid of regressions as this is a behavior we have since 0.97 and apps may expect the time to be current, e.g. for monitoring whether there was a change on the TTY. Now, there is no change. So this would better have a lot of testing before it goes upstream. References: CVE-2013-0160 Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

vt: synchronize_rcu() under spinlock is not nice...

commit e8cd81693bbbb15db57d3c9aa7dd90eda4842874 upstream. vcs_poll_data_free() calls unregister_vt_notifier(), which calls atomic_notifier_chain_unregister(), which calls synchronize_rcu(). Do it *after* we'd dropped ->f_lock. Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

TTY: do not reset master's packet mode

2013-03-20T20:04:59Z

commit b81273a132177edd806476b953f6afeb17b786d5 upstream. Now that login from util-linux is forced to drop all references to a TTY which it wants to hangup (to reach reference count 1) we are seeing issues with telnet. When login closes its last reference to the slave PTY, it also resets packet mode on the *master* side. And we have a race here. What telnet does is fork+exec of `login'. Then there are two scenarios: * `login' closes the slave TTY and resets thus master's packet mode, but even now telnet properly sets the mode, or * `telnetd' sets packet mode on the master, `login' closes the slave TTY and resets master's packet mode. The former case is OK. However the latter happens in much more cases, by the order of magnitude to be precise. So when one tries to login to such a messed telnet setup, they see the following: inux login: ogin incorrect Note the missing first letters -- telnet thinks it is still in the packet mode, so when it receives "linux login" from `login', it considers "l" as the type of the packet and strips it. SuS does not mention how the implementation should behave. Both BSDs I checked (Free and Net) do not reset the flag upon the last close. By this I am resurrecting an old bug, see References. We are hitting it regularly now, i.e. with updated util-linux, ergo login. Here, I am changing a behavior introduced back in 2.1 times. It would better have a long time testing before goes upstream.

commit 827aa0d36d486f359808c8fb931cf7a71011a09d upstream. This could have been either ARCH_S5P64X0 or CPU_S5P6450.

fb: Yet another band-aid for fixing lockdep mess

2013-02-28T14:59:05Z

commit e93a9a868792ad71cdd09d75e5a02d8067473c4e upstream. I've still got lockdep warnings even after Alan's patch, and it seems that yet more band aids are required to paper over similar paths for unbind_con_driver() and unregister_con_driver(). After this hack, lockdep warnings are finally gone.

fb: rework locking to fix lock ordering on takeover

2013-02-28T14:59:05Z

commit 50e244cc793d511b86adea24972f3a7264cae114 upstream. Adjust the console layer to allow a take over call where the caller already holds the locks. Make the fb layer lock in order. This is partly a band aid, the fb layer is terminally confused about the locking rules it uses for its notifiers it seems.
