From: Ben Hutchings Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2008 16:18:17 +0000 (+0100) Subject: PCI: Restrict VPD read permission to root X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc9~68^2~2 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a94c248113b86bbbc47d027a4004b70f2be298b1;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git PCI: Restrict VPD read permission to root Some PCI devices will lock up if we attempt to read from VPD addresses beyond some device-dependent limit. Until we can identify these devices and adjust the file size accordingly, only let root read VPD through sysfs to prevent a DoS by normal users.
