From: Nicolas Bouchinet <nicolas.bouchinet@xxxxxxxxxxx> Commit 3b3376f222e3 ("sysctl.c: fix underflow value setting risk in vm_table") fixes underflow value setting risk in vm_table but misses vdso_enabled sysctl. vdso_enabled sysctl is initialized with .extra1 value as SYSCTL_ZERO to avoid negative value writes but the proc_handler is proc_dointvec and not proc_dointvec_minmax and thus do not uses .extra1 and .extra2. The following command thus works : # echo -1 > /proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled This patch properly sets the proc_handler to proc_dointvec_minmax.
