[PATCH v2 7/9] procfs: add permission checks on the file's opener of /proc/*/personality

From: Djalal Harouni
Date: Tue Oct 01 2013 - 16:34:10 EST


If current's cred have changed between ->open() and ->read(), then call
proc_allow_access() to check if the original file's opener had enough
permissions to access the /proc/*/personality entry during ->read().
