Currently, if you open("foo", O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | ..., 02777) in a
directory that is setgid and owned by a different gid than current's
fsgid, you end up with an SGID executable that is owned by the
directory's GID. This is a Bad Thing (tm). Exploiting this is
nontrivial because most ways of creating a new file create an empty
file and empty executables aren't particularly interesting, but this
is nevertheless quite dangerous.
Harden against this type of attack by detecting this particular
corner case (unprivileged program creates SGID executable inode in
SGID directory owned by a different GID) and clearing the new
inode's SGID bit.
