3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Kees Cook <[email protected]> commit e70ab977991964a5a7ad1182799451d067e62669 upstream. While PROC_CN_MCAST_LISTEN/IGNORE is entirely advisory, it was possible for an unprivileged user to turn off notifications for all listeners by sending PROC_CN_MCAST_IGNORE. Instead, require the same privileges as required for a multicast bind.
