Subject: [PATCH] mm: enforce min addr even if capable() in expand_downwards()

commit 0a1d52994d440e21def1c2174932410b4f2a98a1 upstream.

security_mmap_addr() does a capability check with current_cred(), but
we can reach this code from contexts like a VFS write handler where
current_cred() must not be used.

This can be abused on systems without SMAP to make NULL pointer
dereferences exploitable again.

CVE: CVE-2019-9213
Upstream-Status: Backport [https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=linux-4.14.y&id=f5817069248630b3b7b17ebfcdee0b679c52be33]

Fixes: 8869477a49c3 ("security: protect from stack expansion into low vm addresses")
