SubjectRe: [PATCH 0/8] SECURITY ISSUE with connector
From
From: Philipp Reisner <philipp.reisner@linbit.com>
Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2009 14:40:03 +0200

> Affected: All code that uses connector, in kernel and out of mainline
>
> The connector, as it is today, does not allow the in kernel receiving
> parts to do any checks on privileges of a message's sender.
>
> I know, there are not many out there that like connector, but as
> long as it is in the kernel, we have to fix the security issues it has!
>
> Please either drop connector, or someone who feels a bit responsible
> and has our beloved dictator's blessing, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take
> this into your tree, and send the pull request to Linus.
>
> Patches 1 to 4 are already Acked-by Evgeny, the connector's maintainer.
> Patches 5 to 7 are the obvious fixes to the connector user's code.
>
> For convenience these patches are also available as git tree:
> git://git.drbd.org/linux-2.6-drbd.git connector-fix

All applied to net-2.6, I'll push this out to Linus later
today.
