| Are there any use cases for TIOCSTI other than producing exploits?
On the BSDs TIOCSTI has been limited to the superuser since the
4.4BSD Lite 2 release in 1995 (IIRC). I think that linux should
follow suit if it has not (yet). For those who are interested in
the history of this, I believe that first we checked only the
userid (4.2BSD), then we checked the userid and that the process
was a session leader (4.3BSD), and finally we decided that this
was too big of a hole and limited it to the superuser.
