The patch titled
Subject: proc: revalidate kernel thread inodes to root:root
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
proc-revalidate-kernel-thread-inodes-to-root-root.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: proc: revalidate kernel thread inodes to root:root
task_dump_owner() has the following code:
mm = task->mm;
if (mm) {
if (get_dumpable(mm) != SUID_DUMP_USER) {
uid = ...
}
}
Check for ->mm is buggy -- kernel thread might be borrowing mm
and inode will go to some random uid:gid pair.
