Small side note:
A complete version of Matt's initial patch has lived on in
linux-hardened [0][1] with the `SECURITY_TIOCSTI_RESTRICT` Kconfig
(default no) and a `tiocsti_restrict` sysctl.
If a re-attempt is feasible, both patchs [0][1] could potentially be
re-proposed as is.
In linux-hardened we have an independent patch [2] which simply sets the
default value of `SECURITY_TIOCSTI_RESTRICT` to `yes`, but that most
likely is not desired.
cheers,
Levente
