Re: [RFC][PATCH v2] Unprivileged: Disable raising of privileges
From: Andrew G. Morgan
Date: Wed Dec 30 2009 - 09:52:29 EST
Eric,
I'm not clear why capabilities need to be manipulated by this feature
(the pure capability support already has a feature for disabling
privilege and blocking unsafe, or insufficient privilege, execution).
Perhaps I'm just unclear what features can be more safely enabled with
this in effect - that is, your description suggests that this is why
you are doing this, but leaves it unclear what they are. Could you
take a few moments to enumerate some of them?
Thanks
Andrew
