Subject: [PATCH]: disassociate tty locking fixups
Date: Sat, 14 Oct 2006 07:22:18 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061014112218.30218.93267.sendpatchset@prarit.boston.redhat.com> (raw)
Additional tty_mutex locking in do_tty_hangup and disassociate_ctty. It is
possible that do_tty_hangup sets current->signal->tty = NULL. If that
happens then disassociate_ctty can corrupt memory.
