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.
In addition to .extra1, .extra2 is set to SYSCTL_ONE. The sysctl is
thus bounded between 0 and 1.
