[PATCH v4 05/21] block_dev: Check permissions towards block device inode when mounting

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

 



Unprivileged users should not be able to mount block devices when
they lack sufficient privileges towards the block device inode.
Update blkdev_get_by_path() to validate that the user has the
required access to the inode at the specified path. The check
will be skipped for CAP_SYS_ADMIN, so privileged mounts will
continue working as before.
