Subject: [PATCH -v2] capabilites: allow the application of capability limits
to usermode helpers
There is no way to limit the capabilities of usermodehelpers. This problem
reared its head recently when someone complained that any user with
cap_net_admin was able to load arbitrary kernel modules, even though the user
didn't have cap_sys_module. The reason is because the actual load is done by
a usermode helper and those always have the full cap set. This patch addes new
sysctls which allow us to bound the permissions of usermode helpers.
/proc/sys/kernel/usermodehelper/bset
/proc/sys/kernel/usermodehelper/inheritable
You must have CAP_SYS_MODULE to change these (changes are &= ONLY).
When the kernel launches a usermodehelper it will do so with these as
the bset and pI.
-v2: make globals static
create spinlock to protect globals
