From: Peter Müller Date: Sun, 14 Jan 2024 15:59:00 +0000 (+0000) Subject: linux: Forbid legacy TIOCSTI usage X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bca096b453809236775b497e0a3e4c7cd5e5437e;p=people%2Fstevee%2Fipfire-2.x.git linux: Forbid legacy TIOCSTI usage To quote from the kernel documentation: > Historically the kernel has allowed TIOCSTI, which will push > characters into a controlling TTY. This continues to be used > as a malicious privilege escalation mechanism, and provides no > meaningful real-world utility any more. Its use is considered > a dangerous legacy operation, and can be disabled on most > systems. > > Say Y here only if you have confirmed that your system's > userspace depends on this functionality to continue operating > normally. > > Processes which run with CAP_SYS_ADMIN, such as BRLTTY, can > use TIOCSTI even when this is set to N. > > This functionality can be changed at runtime with the > dev.tty.legacy_tiocsti sysctl. This configuration option sets > the default value of the sysctl. This patch therefore proposes to no longer allow legacy TIOCSTI usage in IPFire, given its security implications and the apparent lack of legitimate usage.
