TIOCSTI continues its long history of being used in privilege escalation attacks[1]. Prior attempts to provide a mechanism to disable this have devolved into discussions around creating full-blown LSMs to provide arbitrary ioctl filtering, which is hugely over-engineered -- only TIOCSTI is being used this way. 3 years ago OpenBSD entirely removed TIOCSTI[2], Android has had it filtered for longer[3], and the tools that had historically used TIOCSTI either do not need it, are not commonly built with it, or have had its use removed. Provide a simple CONFIG and global sysctl to disable this for the system builders who have wanted this functionality for literally decades now, much like the ldisc_autoload CONFIG and sysctl.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
