From: Kees Cook keescook@chromium.org Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2018 15:21:33 -0800 Subject: exec: Weaken dumpability for secureexec
From: Kees Cook keescook@chromium.org
commit e816c201aed5232171f8eb80b5d46ae6516683b9 upstream.
This is a logical revert of commit e37fdb785a5f ("exec: Use secureexec for setting dumpability")
This weakens dumpability back to checking only for uid/gid changes in current (which is useless), but userspace depends on dumpability not being tied to secureexec.
