Subject: [RFC PATCH 05/14] userns: clamp down users of cap_raised
Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2011 23:30:43 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1310513452-13397-6-git-send-email-serge@hallyn.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1310513452-13397-1-git-send-email-serge@hallyn.com>

From: Serge E. Hallyn <serge.hallyn@canonical.com>

A few modules are using cap_raised(current_cap(), cap) to authorize
actions, but the privilege should be applicable against the initial
user namespace.  Refuse privilege if the caller is not in init_user_ns.
