From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: NeilBrown Subject: [GIT PULL REQUEST] md updates for 4.2-rc Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2015 08:10:22 +1000 Message-ID: <20150805081022.0ee9dac5@noble> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Sender: linux-raid-owner@vger.kernel.org To: Linus Torvalds Cc: lkml , linux-raid , Tomas Papan , Benjamin Randazzo , Josh Boyer , Alexander Lyakas List-Id: linux-raid.ids One of these patches is for a CVE: CVE-2015-5697 I'm not convinced it is serious (data leak from CAP_SYS_ADMIN ioctl) but as people seem to want to back-port it, I've included a minimal version here. The remainder of that patch from Benjamin is code-cleanup and will arrive in the 4.3 merge window.
