Re: [PATCH] Bluetooth: Fix TOCTOU in HCI debugfs implementation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Bastien,

Thanks for the updates to the December 2023 patches, including the
shift to identifying the issue as TOCTOU and the corrections made to
the commit messages and CVE references.

I see the merit in distinguishing between TOCTOU and atomicity
violation as you've outlined. Both terms provide valid frameworks for
categorizing concurrency issues—atomicity violation from a broad
program analysis standpoint and TOCTOU focusing on the timing
discrepancies. I'm on board with this classification and the changes
you've implemented.

I'm good with the changes.

Best regards,
Han
