Linux - Missing Locking in Siemens R3964 Line Discipline Race Condition
2019-04-23 16:05:04/*
The Siemens R3964 line discipline code in drivers/tty/n_r3964.c has a few races
around its ioctl handler; for example, the handler for R3964_ENABLE_SIGNALS
just allocates and deletes elements in a linked list with zero locking.
This code is reachable by an unprivileged user if the line discipline is enabled
in the kernel config; Ubuntu 18.04, for example, ships this line discipline as a
module.
Proof of concept:

I wonder whether it would, in addition to fixing the locking, also make sense to
gate the line discipline on some sort of capability - it seems wrong to me that
this kind of code is exposed to every user on the system.
