v0.3.1: --dump-offsets tool + NOTICE.md per module
release / build (arm64) (push) Waiting to run
release / build (x86_64) (push) Waiting to run
release / release (push) Blocked by required conditions

The README has been claiming "each module credits the original CVE
reporter and PoC author in its NOTICE.md" since v0.1.0, but only
copy_fail_family actually shipped one. Fixed.

  modules/<name>/NOTICE.md (×19 new + 1 existing): per-module
    research credit covering CVE ID, discoverer, original advisory
    URL where public, upstream fix commit, IAMROOT's role.

  iamroot.c: new --dump-offsets subcommand. Resolves kernel offsets
    via the existing core/offsets.c four-source chain (env →
    /proc/kallsyms → /boot/System.map → embedded table), then emits
    a ready-to-paste C struct entry for kernel_table[]. Run once
    as root on a target kernel build; upstream via PR. Eliminates
    fabricating offsets — every shipped entry traces back to a
    `iamroot --dump-offsets` invocation on a real kernel.

  docs/OFFSETS.md: documents the --dump-offsets workflow.
  CVES.md: notes the NOTICE.md convention + offset dump tool.

  iamroot.c: bump IAMROOT_VERSION 0.3.0 → 0.3.1.

# NOTICE — cgroup_release_agent (CVE-2022-0492)
## Vulnerability
**CVE-2022-0492** — cgroup v1 `release_agent` privilege check in the
wrong namespace → host root from a rootless container or unprivileged
userns by mounting cgroup v1 and writing to `release_agent`.
## Research credit
Discovered by **Yiqi Sun** + **Kevin Wang** (Trend Micro Research),
January 2022.
Original writeup:
<https://blog.trendmicro.com/cve-2022-0492-from-cgroup-loophole-to-container-breakout/>
Upstream fix: mainline 5.17 (commit `24f6008564183`, March 2022).
## IAMROOT role
**Universal structural exploit — no per-kernel offsets, no race.**
unshare(USER | MOUNT | CGROUP), mount cgroup v1 RDP controller,
write `release_agent``./payload`, trigger via
`notify_on_release` + cgroup process exit.
Kept in the corpus as a portable "containers misconfigured"
demonstration — works across every kernel below the fix without any
tuning. Ships auditd rules covering cgroupfs mounts and
`release_agent` writes.
