Kees CookandGreg Kroah-Hartman fb003a1bd6 proc: Check /proc/$pid/attr/ writes against file opener
commit bfb819ea20 upstream.

Fix another "confused deputy" weakness[1]. Writes to /proc/$pid/attr/
files need to check the opener credentials, since these fds do not
transition state across execve(). Without this, it is possible to
trick another process (which may have different credentials) to write
to its own /proc/$pid/attr/ files, leading to unexpected and possibly
exploitable behaviors.
