The examination of "current" to decide dumpability is wrong. This was a check of and euid/uid (or egid/gid) mismatch in the existing process, not the newly created one. This appears to stretch back into even the "history.git" tree. Luckily, dumpability is later set in commit_creds(). In earlier kernel versions before creds existed, similar checks also existed late in the exec flow, covering up the mistake as far back as I could find. Note that because the commit_creds() check examines differences of euid, uid, egid, gid, and capabilities between the old and new creds, it would look like the setup_new_exec() dumpability test could be entirely removed. However, the secureexec test may cover a different set of tests (specific to the LSMs) than what commit_creds() checks for. So, fix this test to use secureexec (the removed euid tests are redundant to the commoncap secureexec checks now).
