From c94bea2e4bf5ad9359653b3e26186e2ea4a0e1a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Mon, 22 May 2017 15:40:12 -0500 Subject: ptrace: Properly initialize ptracer_cred on fork commit c70d9d809fdeecedb96972457ee45c49a232d97f upstream. When I introduced ptracer_cred I failed to consider the weirdness of fork where the task_struct copies the old value by default. This winds up leaving ptracer_cred set even when a process forks and the child process does not wind up being ptraced. Because ptracer_cred is not set on non-ptraced processes whose parents were ptraced this has broken the ability of the enlightenment window manager to start setuid children. Fix this by properly initializing ptracer_cred in ptrace_init_task This must be done with a little bit of care to preserve the current value of ptracer_cred when ptrace carries through fork. Re-reading the ptracer_cred from the ptracing process at this point is inconsistent with how PT_PTRACE_CAP has been maintained all of these years.
