Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev

From ${URL} :

Linux kernel built with the Adaptec RAID controller support(CONFIG_SCSI_AACRAID)
along with the compat mode(CONFIG_COMPAT), is vulnerable due to a missing
capability check in a compat ioctl routine. This could lead to undue usage of
restricted operations by users.

A user/program could use this flaw to perform protected operations via compat
ioctl route.

Upstream fix:
-------------
 -> https://git.kernel.org/linus/f856567b930dfcdbc3323261bf77240ccdde01f5
