[PATCH 2/2] LSM: SafeSetID: Add setgroups() security policy handling

From: Micah Morton
Date: Mon Jun 13 2022 - 17:01:25 EST


The SafeSetID LSM has functionality for restricting setuid()/setgid()
syscalls based on its configured security policies. This patch adds the
analogous functionality for the setgroups() syscall. Security policy
for the setgroups() syscall follows the same policies that are
installed on the system for setgid() syscalls.

NOTE: this code does nothing to prevent a SafeSetID-restricted process
with CAP_SETGID from dropping supplementary groups. I don't anticipate
supplementary groups ever being used to restrict a process' privileges
(rather than grant privileges), so I think this is fine for the
purposes of SafeSetID.
