From: Matthew Garrett Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2012 08:46:50 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] asus-wmi: Restrict debugfs interface when module loading is restricted We have no way of validating what all of the Asus WMI methods do on a given machine, and there's a risk that some will allow hardware state to be manipulated in such a way that arbitrary code can be executed in the kernel, circumventing module loading restrictions. Prevent that if any of these features are enabled.
