This is scary. But I believe it is safe.

I am a bit curious about the implications of the selinux patch.
IIUC you are using the permission of the tracing process to
execute the file without transition, so this is a way to work
around the policy which might prevent the tracee from doing so.
Given that SELinux wants to be MAC, I'm not *quite* sure that's
considered kosher. You also are skipping the PROCESS__PTRACE
to SECCLASS_PROCESS check which selinux_bprm_set_creds does later
on. Again I'm just not quite sure what's considered normal there
these days.
Paul, do you have input there?
