    tty: Prevent untrappable signals from malicious program · 09179f19

    commit 37480a05 upstream.
    
    Commit 26df6d13 ("tty: Add EXTPROC support for LINEMODE")
    allows a process which has opened a pty master to send _any_ signal
    to the process group of the pty slave. Although potentially
    exploitable by a malicious program running a setuid program on
    a pty slave, it's unknown if this exploit currently exists.
    
    Limit to signals actually used.
