I don't know if you noticed Andrii's and others' comments on this [1].

Given that:
- this issue requires immediate remediation
- there seems to be pushback for reverting the syscall implementation
- filtering uretprobe is not within the capabilities of seccomp without this
syscall (so reverting the syscall is equivalent to just passing it through
seccomp)

is it possible to consider applying this current fix, with the possibility of
extending seccomp in the future to support filtering uretprobe if deemed
necessary (for example by allowing userspace to define a stricter policy)?

Thanks,
Eyal.
