CVE-2015-1350
First published: Fri Nov 21 2014(Updated: )
A flaw was found where a regular user could remove xattr permissions on files by using the chown or write systemcalls. An attacker could use this feature to remove capabilities effectively denying elevated permissions to valid users. Certain services and applications require the capabilities subsystem to work correctly. Discussed here: <a href="https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/1/17/145">https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/1/17/145</a> As of 3.19 release, this commit is NOT in mainline tree.
