Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> openrisc: traps: Don&amp;#39;t send signals to kernel mode threads<br /> <br /> OpenRISC exception handling sends signals to user processes on floating<br /> point exceptions and trap instructions (for debugging) among others.<br /> There is a bug where the trap handling logic may send signals to kernel<br /> threads, we should not send these signals to kernel threads, if that<br /> happens we treat it as an error.<br /> <br /> This patch adds conditions to die if the kernel receives these<br /> exceptions in kernel mode code.
