From 37549e94c77a94a9c32b5ae3313a3801cb66adf9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Sun, 27 Jul 2014 07:26:01 +0930 Subject: [PATCH] sysfs: disallow world-writable files. This check was introduced in 2006 by Alexey Dobriyan (9774a1f54f173) for module parameters; we removed it when we unified the check into VERIFY_OCTAL_PERMISSIONS() as sysfs didn't have the same requirement. Now all those users are fixed, reintroduce it.
