  • In linux-2.6.24-rc1, security/commoncap.c:cap_inh_is_capped() was
    introduced. It has the exact reverse of its intended behavior. This
    led to an unintended privilege esculation involving a process'
    inheritable capability set.

    To be exposed to this bug, you need to have Filesystem Capabilities
    enabled and in use. That is:

    - CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES must be defined for the buggy code
    to be compiled in.

    - You also need to have files on your system marked with fI bits raised.

  • Fix line length calculation. var->width is the size of the display in mm. We
    like to use the pixel size.

    Without this fix, dynamic (fbset) based resolution and depths changes with
    s3c2410_fb don't work at all.

  • The caller is __cpuinit.
    Also, this code block and its caller are inside #ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
    blocks, so this code should reflect that config symbol's usage.

  • If we get a data URB back from the hardware after we have put the tty to
    bed we go kaboom. Fortunately all we need to do is process the URB without
    trying to ram its contents down the throat of an ex-tty.
