From 3bcac0263f0b45e67a64034ebcb69eb9abb742f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2009 13:45:05 +0100 Subject: SELinux: Don't flush inherited SIGKILL during execve() Don't flush inherited SIGKILL during execve() in SELinux's post cred commit hook. This isn't really a security problem: if the SIGKILL came before the credentials were changed, then we were right to receive it at the time, and should honour it; if it came after the creds were changed, then we definitely should honour it; and in any case, all that will happen is that the process will be scrapped before it ever returns to userspace.
