From: Jann Horn <jann@xxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 4.1 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit 103502a35cfce0710909da874f092cb44823ca03 ] Before this patch, a process with some permissive seccomp filter that was applied by root without NO_NEW_PRIVS was able to add more filters to itself without setting NO_NEW_PRIVS by setting the new filter from a throwaway thread with NO_NEW_PRIVS.
