2013-09-10Update pt_chown sections of the manualAllan McRae1-8/+5
The pt-chown binary is discussed in the "Running make install" section without clarification of the needed configure option. Clarify this and simplfy the discription which is already covered in the "Configuring and compiling" section.

2013-07-21CVE-2013-2207, BZ #15755: Disable pt_chown.Carlos O'Donell1-0/+14
The helper binary pt_chown tricked into granting access to another user's pseudo-terminal. Pre-conditions for the attack: * Attacker with local user account * Kernel with FUSE support * "user_allow_other" in /etc/fuse.conf * Victim with allocated slave in /dev/pts Using the setuid installed pt_chown and a weak check on whether a file descriptor is a tty, an attacker could fake a pty check using FUSE and trick pt_chown to grant ownership of a pty descriptor that the current user does not own. It cannot access /dev/pts/ptmx however. In most modern distributions pt_chown is not needed because devpts is enabled by default. The fix for this CVE is to disable building and using pt_chown by default. We still provide a configure option to enable hte use of pt_chown but distributions do so at their own risk.
2013-07-02Add a configure option to enable lock elision and disable by defaultAndi Kleen1-0/+3
Can be enabled with --enable-lock-elision=yes at configure time.

[BZ #13750] Do not build manual anymore in the source dir. Also clean up the Makefile and remove rules that have been used previously when we had a stand-alone Makefile which was obsoleted recently.
2012-05-04Revert "Update install.texi for building manual in build dir"Andreas Jaeger1-4/+4
