[PATCH v1] keys: Restrict KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT according to ptrace_may_access()

From: Mickaël Salaün
Date: Mon Jul 29 2024 - 08:59:19 EST


A process can modify its parent's credentials with
KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT when their EUID and EGID are the same. This
doesn't take into account all possible access controls.

Enforce the same access checks as for impersonating a process.

The current credentials checks are untouch because they check against
EUID and EGID, whereas ptrace_may_access() checks against UID and GID.
