From 470e517be17dd6ef8670bec7bd7831ea0d3ad8a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jann Horn Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2015 02:48:39 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fs: take i_mutex during prepare_binprm for set[ug]id executables commit 8b01fc86b9f425899f8a3a8fc1c47d73c2c20543 upstream. This prevents a race between chown() and execve(), where chowning a setuid-user binary to root would momentarily make the binary setuid root. This patch was mostly written by Linus Torvalds.
