Source: linux Version: 6.3.7-1 Severity: important Tags: a11y upstream Forwarded: https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/12/27/719
Hello, This is an upstream issue, but I am reporting it here so it gets documented. With version 6.3, Linux disabled TIOCSTI by default, for security reasons. This basically broke Braille keyboards: brltty needs that interface to properly simulate keypresses. I had proposed upstream on https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/12/27/719 some solutions, without any answer. Now that we actually have a regression and people start complaining on debian-accessibility, perhaps they'll listen? We really need to do something about it, anyway. A workaround is to set dev.tty.legacy_tiocsti=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf, but that basically re-exposes the security issues.
