coredump: Fixes core_pipe_limit sysctl proc_handler
proc_dointvec converts a string to a vector of signed int, which is
stored in the unsigned int .data core_pipe_limit.
It was thus authorized to write a negative value to core_pipe_limit
sysctl which once stored in core_pipe_limit, leads to the signed int
dump_count check against core_pipe_limit never be true. The same can be
achieved with core_pipe_limit set to INT_MAX.
Any negative write or >= to INT_MAX in core_pipe_limit sysctl would
hypothetically allow a user to create very high load on the system by
running processes that produces a coredump in case the core_pattern
sysctl is configured to pipe core files to user space helper.
Memory or PID exhaustion should happen before but it anyway breaks the
core_pipe_limit semantic.
This commit fixes this by changing core_pipe_limit sysctl's proc_handler
to proc_dointvec_minmax and bound checking between SYSCTL_ZERO and
SYSCTL_INT_MAX.
Fixes: a293980c2e ("exec: let do_coredump() limit the number of concurrent dumps to pipes")
