Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 117/273] serial: omap: Prevent DoS using unprivileged ioctl(TIOCSRS485)
4.2.8-ckt5 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------
From: Peter Hurley <peter@...leysoftware.com>
commit 308bbc9ab838d0ace0298268c7970ba9513e2c65 upstream.
The omap-serial driver emulates RS485 delays using software timers,
but neglects to clamp the input values from the unprivileged
ioctl(TIOCSRS485). Because the software implementation busy-waits,
malicious userspace could stall the cpu for ~49 days.
Clamp the input values to < 100ms.
Fixes: 4a0ac0f55b18 ("OMAP: add RS485 support")
