Subject: [patch 03/29] i2c/eeprom: Hide Sony Vaio serial numbers
Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2007 10:23:11 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071120182311.GD28611@kroah.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20071120182248.GA28611@kroah.com>
[-- Attachment #1: i2c-eeprom-hide-sony-vaio-serial-numbers.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2071 bytes --]
2.6.23-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.
------------------
From: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
patch 0f2cbd38aa377e30df3b7602abed69464d1970aa in mainline.
The sysfs interface to DMI data takes care to not make the system
serial number and UUID world-readable, presumably due to privacy
concerns. For consistency, we should not let the eeprom driver
export these same strings to the world on Sony Vaio laptops.
Instead, only make them readable by root, as we already do for BIOS
passwords.
