[patch 69/71] rtc: fix kernel panic on second use of SIGIOnofitication

From: Greg KH
Date: Mon Oct 06 2008 - 21:05:41 EST


2.6.26-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.

------------------
From: Marcin Slusarz <marcin.slusarz@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 2e4a75cdcb89ff53bb182dda3a6dcdc14befe007 upstream

When userspace uses SIGIO notification and forgets to disable it before
closing file descriptor, rtc->async_queue contains stale pointer to struct
file. When user space enables again SIGIO notification in different
process, kernel dereferences this (poisoned) pointer and crashes.

So disable SIGIO notification on close.

Kernel panic:
(second run of qemu (requires echo 1024 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/max_user_freq))
