+Subject: Use access mode instead of open flags to determine needed permissions (CVE-2008-0001)
+
+From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org>
+
+patch 974a9f0b47da74e28f68b9c8645c3786aa5ace1a in mainline
+
+Way back when (in commit 834f2a4a1554dc5b2598038b3fe8703defcbe467, aka
+"VFS: Allow the filesystem to return a full file pointer on open intent"
+to be exact), Trond changed the open logic to keep track of the original
+flags to a file open, in order to pass down the the intent of a dentry
+lookup to the low-level filesystem.
+
+However, when doing that reorganization, it changed the meaning of
+namei_flags, and thus inadvertently changed the test of access mode for
+directories (and RO filesystem) to use the wrong flag. So fix those
+test back to use access mode ("acc_mode") rather than the open flag
+("flag").
+
+Issue noticed by Bill Roman at Datalight.
