From 746bf6d64275be0c65b0631d8a72b16f1454cfa1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2015 15:42:51 -0700 Subject: capabilities: add a securebit to disable PR_CAP_AMBIENT_RAISE Per Andrew Morgan's request, add a securebit to allow admins to disable PR_CAP_AMBIENT_RAISE. This securebit will prevent processes from adding capabilities to their ambient set. For simplicity, this disables PR_CAP_AMBIENT_RAISE entirely rather than just disabling setting previously cleared bits. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Acked-by: Andrew G.
