Subject: [PATCH] ide: add sanity checking to ide taskfile ioctl
Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2006 16:31:02 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1161012662.24237.76.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

Without this the user can feed in bogus values and get very bogus
results. Security impact is minimal as this ioctl isn't available to
unpriviledged processes anyway.

Reported to the l/k list and found with an auditing tool.

Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com>
