sysctl: require CAP_SYS_RAWIO to set mmap_min_addr
commit 0e1a6ef2dea88101b056b6d9984f3325c5efced3 upstream.
Currently the mmap_min_addr value can only be bypassed during mmap when
the task has CAP_SYS_RAWIO. However, the mmap_min_addr sysctl value itself
can be adjusted to 0 if euid == 0, allowing a bypass without CAP_SYS_RAWIO.
This patch adds a check for the capability before allowing mmap_min_addr to
be changed.
