From d4855e1fc03c2bb32dd64badf51cec5a2a26ab2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Hurley Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2013 08:46:27 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] tty: Reset hupped state on open A common security idiom is to hangup the current tty (via vhangup()) after forking but before execing a root shell. This hangs up any existing opens which other processes may have and ensures subsequent opens have the necessary permissions to open the root shell tty/pty. Reset the TTY_HUPPED state after the driver has successfully returned the opened tty (perform the reset while the tty is locked to avoid racing with concurrent hangups).
