4.2.8-ckt5 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: Peter Hurley <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 308bbc9ab838d0ace0298268c7970ba9513e2c65 upstream. The omap-serial driver emulates RS485 delays using software timers, but neglects to clamp the input values from the unprivileged ioctl(TIOCSRS485). Because the software implementation busy-waits, malicious userspace could stall the cpu for ~49 days. Clamp the input values to < 100ms.
