I'm not sure this change prevents the unprivileged process.
Please refer to LTP test, recently I saw that this change broke
the following test.
https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/testcases/kernel/syscalls/get_robust_list/get_robust_list01.c#L155
if (seteuid(1) == -1)
tst_brkm(TBROK|TERRNO, cleanup, "seteuid(1) failed");
TEST(retval = syscall(__NR_get_robust_list, 1,
(struct robust_list_head *)&head,
&len_ptr));
We set the euid to an unprivileged user, and expect to FAIL with EPERM,
without this patch, it FAIL as we expected, but with it, this call succeed.
Seems that we leaked the check of (cred->euid == pcred->euid && cred->euid == pcred->uid),
I'm not sure which one is right, can you please give an explanation?
Thanks in advance,
Wanlong Gao
