From b21507e272627c434e8dd74e8d51fd8245281b59 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Smalley Date: Mon, 9 Jan 2017 10:07:31 -0500 Subject: proc,security: move restriction on writing /proc/pid/attr nodes to proc Processes can only alter their own security attributes via /proc/pid/attr nodes. This is presently enforced by each individual security module and is also imposed by the Linux credentials implementation, which only allows a task to alter its own credentials. Move the check enforcing this restriction from the individual security modules to proc_pid_attr_write() before calling the security hook, and drop the unnecessary task argument to the security hook since it can only ever be the current task.
