Verify that user applications are not using the kernel RPC message handle to restrict them from directly attaching to guest OS on the remote subsystem. This is a port of CVE-2019-2308 fix.
A port of the fix of what to what?
I'm sorry for the confusion. It is a port of the original Qualcomm/CodeAurora fix to the upstream driver.
See https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/la/kernel/msm-4.9/commit/?id=cc2e11eeb988...,
So this is a fix from 2019 that you never submitted upstream causing all of these kernels to be vulnerable?
Shouldn't the porting process go the other way, upstream first and then backport? That ensures we don't end up with 2 years old bugs like this :(
Ugh.
What's going to change in the development process of this code to prevent this from happening again?
thanks,
