Henrique de Moraes Holschuh b525c06cdb thinkpad-acpi: lock down video output state access ... Given the right combination of ThinkPad and X.org, just reading the video output control state is enough to hard-crash X.org. Until the day I somehow find out a model or BIOS cut date to not provide this feature to ThinkPads that can do video switching through X RandR, change permissions so that only processes with CAP_SYS_ADMIN can access any sort of video output control state. This bug could be considered a local DoS I suppose, as it allows any non-privledged local user to cause some versions of X.org to hard-crash some ThinkPads.
