Commit d720bc4b8fc5d6d179ef094908d4fbb5e436ffad partially removed a private implementation of baud speed decoding. However it doesn't seem to be complete: after the speed is decoded, it is still being used as an index to a local speed table (array overrun, no doubt).

2007-03-26[WATCHDOG] Semi-typical watchdog bug re early misc_register()Alexey Dobriyan
It seems that some watchdog drivers are doing following mistake: rv = misc_register(); if (rv < 0) return rv; rv = request_region(); if (rv < 0) { misc_deregister(); return rv; } But, right after misc_register() returns, misc device can be opened and ioctls interacting with hardware issued, and driver can do outb() to port it doesn't own yet, because request_region() is still pending.

2007-03-18[PATCH] tty: Fix two reported pid leaksEric W. Biederman
These leaks were reported by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marians@gmail.com> and I have been able to very by inspection they are possible. When converting tty_io.c to store pids as struct pid pointers instead of pid_t values it appears I overlooked two places where we stop using the pid value. The very obvious one is in do_tty_hangup, and the one the less obvious one in __proc_set_tty. When looking into the code __proc_set_tty only has pids that need to be put because of failures of other parts of the code to properly perform hangup processing. Fixing the leak here in __proc_set_tty is easy and obviously correct so I am doing that first. Fixing the places that should be performing hangup processing is much less obviously correct. So those I'm aiming those patches at -mm. for now, so the can age a while before they are merged. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

In read(), there exists a similar problem, but coming from the device. A malicous or buggy device sending more than 512 bytes can overflow of the driver's read buffer, with the same effects as above.

2007-03-05[PATCH] ipmi: check, if default ports are accessible on PPCChristian Krafft
ipmi_si_intf tries to access default ports, if no device could be found elsewhere. On PPC we have a function to check, if these legacy IO ports are accessible. This patch adds a check for these ports on PPC. This patch fixes a breakage of IPMI module on PPC machines without a BMC.
