[PATCH] CVE-2005-2709 sysctl unregistration oops

2005-12-15T18:33:17Z

You could open the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf// file, then wait for interface to go away, try to grab as much memory as possible in hope to hit the (kfreed) ctl_table. Then fill it with pointers to your function. Then do read from file you've opened and if you are lucky, you'll get it called as ->proc_handler() in kernel mode. So this is at least an Oops and possibly more. It does depend on an interface going away though, so less of a security risk than it would otherwise be. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] broken inline asm on s390 (misuse of labels)

2005-08-24T01:43:44Z

use of explicit labels in inline asm is a Bad Idea(tm), since gcc can decide to inline the function in several places. Fixed by use of 1f/f: instead of .Lfitsin/.Lfitsin: Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] s390: fix inline assembly in appldata

[PATCH] s390: check for interrupt before waiting

2005-07-29T22:01:14Z

The patch that introduced waiting for interrupts after resetting the reader can cause the boot to fail because the system is waiting for an interrupt that will never arrive. Add code to check if an interrupt is supposed to arrive before waiting endlessly.

Fix wrong move direction of timer values for cpu accounting in case of a machine check that indicates a broken cpu timer. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] s390: 31 bit memory size limit

2005-07-27T23:26:05Z

Limit reported memory size to 2GB if running in 31 bit mode. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] s390: external call performance

2005-07-27T23:26:04Z

The kernel uses the SIGP external call order code to signal other CPUs. When running with dedicated CPUs external calls don't get delivered immediately but within a fixed polling invervall. This can lead to delays where the system appears to do nothing. Replace the SIGP external call order with the SIGP emergency call order since this one gets delivered immediately.
