[PATCH v17 01/15] Add PR_{GET,SET}_NO_NEW_PRIVS to prevent execve from granting privs

From: Will Drewry
Date: Thu Mar 29 2012 - 16:02:41 EST


From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

With this set, a lot of dangerous operations (chroot, unshare, etc)
become a lot less dangerous because there is no possibility of
subverting privileged binaries.

This patch completely breaks apparmor. Someone who understands (and
uses) apparmor should fix it or at least give me a hint.

Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

(rebased onto -linus, bumping prctl # -wad@xxxxxxxxxxxx)
