__mem_open() which is called by both /proc/<pid>/environ and /proc/<pid>/mem ->open() handlers will allow the use of negative offsets. /proc/<pid>/mem has negative offsets but not /proc/<pid>/environ.
Allowing negative offsets on /proc/<pid>/environ can turn it to act like /proc/<pid>/mem. A negative offset will pass the fs/read_write.c:lseek_execute() and the environ_read() checks and will point to another VMA. Fix this by moving the 'force FMODE_UNSIGNED_OFFSET flag' to mem_open() to allow negative offsets only on /proc/<pid>/mem. You must be able to ptrace the target to open /proc/<pid>/environ ,so this is not a security issue, but we should not be able to abuse it.
