From 91ad997a34d7abca1f04e819e31eb9f3d4e20585 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Serge E. Hallyn" Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2007 17:00:34 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] file capabilities: allow sigcont within session Fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9247 Allow sigcont to be sent to a process with greater capabilities if it is in the same session. Otherwise, a shell from which I've started a root shell and done 'suspend' can't be restarted by the parent shell. Also don't do file-capabilities signaling checks when uids for the processes don't match, since the standard check_kill_permission will have done those checks.
