Incidentally the patch fixes another minor vulnerability:
TIOCL_SETSEL selects text on the active vt, even when the fd you ran
ioctl on refers to a different vt. Since switching virtual terminals
doesn't require extra privileges, if /dev/ttyN is your controlling
terminal, you can select text from any otherwise inaccessible vt, and
then paste it into your own program.
Proof of concept (using minittyjack from my earlier posting[0]):
n=$(fgconsole) m=$((n+1)) && chvt $m && minittyjack && chvt $n && cat
A more elaborate exploit is available here:
