	Delete the drivers/staging/tty drivers as no one has wanted to step up and maintain and fix them. This was discussed in commit 4a6514e6d096716fb7bedf238efaaca877e2a7e8 (tty: move obsolete and broken tty drivers to drivers/staging/tty/) Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Cc: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2011-04-25	staging: istallion: fix arbitrary kernel memory reads/writes	Vasiliy Kulikov
	stli_brdstats is defined as global variable. After de-BKL-ization in the patch b4eda9cb48eac1b7 an access to the variable is not serialized anymore. This leads to the race window between the check and the use in stli_getbrdstats(): if (copy_from_user(&stli_brdstats, bp, sizeof(combrd_t))) return -EFAULT; if (stli_brdstats.brd >= STL_MAXBRDS) <<< return -ENODEV; brdp = stli_brds[stli_brdstats.brd]; <<< If one process calls COM_GETBRDSTATS ioctl() with sane .brd, second process calls COM_GETBRDSTATS ioctl() with invalid .brd, and the second process' copy_from_user() executes exactly between the check and stli_brds[] indexation of the first process, then the first process gets contents of memory at *stli_brds[stli_brdstats.brd] address. Also the resulting .nrpanels field may be too big, in this case stli_brdstats.panels array overflows.

2011-02-22	tty: move obsolete and broken tty drivers to drivers/staging/tty/	Greg Kroah-Hartman
	As planned by Arnd Bergmann, this moves the following drivers to the drivers/staging/tty/ directory where they will be removed after 2.6.41 if no one steps up to claim them. epca epca ip2 istallion riscom8 serial167 specialix stallion Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Cc: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
