From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2020 21:33:33 +0000 (+0200) Subject: modules: inherit TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE X-Git-Tag: v4.19.191~299 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2ab98abf0d2a820efa726a5e143133fc5993ed56;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git modules: inherit TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE commit 262e6ae7081df304fc625cf368d5c2cbba2bb991 upstream. If a TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE exports symbol, inherit the taint flag for all modules importing these symbols, and don't allow loading symbols from TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE modules if the module previously imported gplonly symbols. Add a anti-circumvention devices so people don't accidentally get themselves into trouble this way.
