From: Peter Hurley <[email protected]>
3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
===============
commit 37480a05685ed5b8e1b9bf5e5c53b5810258b149 upstream.
Commit 26df6d13406d1a5 ("tty: Add EXTPROC support for LINEMODE")
allows a process which has opened a pty master to send _any_ signal
to the process group of the pty slave. Although potentially
exploitable by a malicious program running a setuid program on
a pty slave, it's unknown if this exploit currently exists.
Limit to signals actually used.
