[PATCH] restrict reading from /proc/<pid>/maps to those who share ->mm or can ptrace pid

From: Al Viro
Date: Wed Jan 02 2008 - 09:10:24 EST


Contents of /proc/*/maps is sensitive and may become sensitive
after open() (e.g. if target originally shares our ->mm and later
does exec on suid-root binary).
Check at read() (actually, ->start() of iterator) time that
mm_struct we'd grabbed and locked is
* still the ->mm of target
* equal to reader's ->mm or the target is ptracable by reader.
