[PATCH 1/5] fs: Fix S_NOSEC handling

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



file_remove_suid() could mistakenly set S_NOSEC inode bit when root was
modifying the file. As a result following writes to the file by ordinary
user would avoid clearing suid or sgid bits.

Fix the bug by checking actual mode bits before setting S_NOSEC.
