    futex: Prevent attaching to kernel threads · 6427aede
    Thomas Gleixner authored
    commit f0d71b3d upstream.
    
    We happily allow userspace to declare a random kernel thread to be the
    owner of a user space PI futex.
    
    Found while analysing the fallout of Dave Jones syscall fuzzer.
    
    We also should validate the thread group for private futexes and find
    some fast way to validate whether the "alleged" owner has RW access on
    the file which backs the SHM, but that's a separate issue.
