[PATCH] Insanity avoidance in /proc (CVE-2005-4605)

2006-01-08T02:15:08+00:00

Insanity avoidance in /proc The old /proc interfaces were never updated to use loff_t, and are just generally broken. Now, we should be using the seq_file interface for all of the proc files, but converting the legacy functions is more work than most people care for and has little upside.. But at least we can make the non-LFS rules explicit, rather than just insanely wrapping the offset or something.

[PATCH] proc: link count fix

2005-09-07T23:57:28+00:00

This patch fixes bug titled "sunrpc as module and bad proc/sys link count" reported by Jiri Slaby. The problem was, that only proc_dir_entry->nlink was updated and the corresponding inode->i_nlink was not. The fix is to implement the inode->getattr() method, and update i_nlink (if necessary). A quick audit of proc code shows that no other attribute changes after creation. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36+00:00

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
