From 086f7316f0d400806d76323beefae996bb3849b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Andrew G. Morgan" Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2008 09:59:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] security: filesystem capabilities: fix fragile setuid fixup code This commit includes a bugfix for the fragile setuid fixup code in the case that filesystem capabilities are supported (in access()). The effect of this fix is gated on filesystem capability support because changing securebits is only supported when filesystem capabilities support is configured.)
