From c92cdeb45eea38515e82187f48c2e4f435fb4e25 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Guy Briggs Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2013 22:10:41 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] audit: convert PPIDs to the inital PID namespace. sys_getppid() returns the parent pid of the current process in its own pid namespace. Since audit filters are based in the init pid namespace, a process could avoid a filter or trigger an unintended one by being in an alternate pid namespace or log meaningless information. Switch to task_ppid_nr() for PPIDs to anchor all audit filters in the init_pid_ns. (informed by ebiederman's 6c621b7e) Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Eric W.
