From 35a196bef449b5824033865b963ed9a43fb8c730 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Moore Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2019 14:55:12 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] proc: prevent changes to overridden credentials Prevent userspace from changing the the /proc/PID/attr values if the task's credentials are currently overriden. This not only makes sense conceptually, it also prevents some really bizarre error cases caused when trying to commit credentials to a task with overridden credentials.
