Subject: [PATCH] kernel: drop FireWire (IEEE 1394) support
Date: Sat, 25 Jul 2020 19:46:52 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <c99ca5a6-7280-3173-49f6-647148cf2df0@ipfire.org> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 6578 bytes --]
Similar to Thunderbolt, supporting FireWire is dangerous as it allows
Direct Memory Attacks, which are known to be actively used by more
sophisticated attackers (https://wikileaks[.]org/spyfiles/files/0/293_GAMMA-201110-FinFireWire.pdf).
Since network hardware using FireWire is diminishing, and there is no
other legitimate reason to use FireWire on an IPFire machine, dropping
support for it looks reasonable to me.
