Description

drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.34 on ThinkPad devices, when the X.Org X server is used, does not properly restrict access to the video output control state, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) via a (1) read or (2) write operation.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

v < 2.6.34
Affected range stops below 2.6.34, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
