Subject: [PATCH 05/14] userns: clamp down users of cap_raised
Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2011 18:58:28 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1311706717-7398-6-git-send-email-serge@hallyn.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1311706717-7398-1-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.
