+++ This bug was originally part of Bug #149693 +++ 4. input: Only root should be able to set the N_MOUSE line discipline. http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/cset@41fa6464E1UuGu6zmketEYxm73KSyQ Routine used in setting line discipline on a serial tty. Note possibly the wrong fix: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg64695.html Impact: a non privileged user could inject mouse movements or possibly keystrokes when another user is logged in.
This is already in our tree. Dave, should be moved to MODIFIED, i suspect.
