Should PCI "new_id" support be disabled when kernel is locked down?

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

 



Hello,

The "new_id" PCI driver sysfs attribute can be used to make an arbitrary PCI driver match an arbitrary PCI vendor/device ID. That could easily crash the kernel or at least make it do weird things if used inappropriately. Is this scenario in scope for the "lockdown" security module?
