From 1209726ce942047c9fefe7cd427dc36f8e9ded53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Andrew G. Morgan" Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2008 09:59:59 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] security: filesystem capabilities: fix CAP_SETPCAP handling The filesystem capability support meaning for CAP_SETPCAP is less powerful than the non-filesystem capability support. As such, when filesystem capabilities are configured, we should not permit CAP_SETPCAP to 'enhance' the current process through strace manipulation of a child process. Signed-off-by: Andrew G.
