[PATCH 2/3] LSM: SafeSetID: Add setgroups() security policy handling

Thu Jun 16 17:18:35 UTC 2022


The SafeSetID LSM has functionality for restricting setuid()/setgid()
syscalls based on its configured security policies. This patch adds the
analogous functionality for the setgroups() syscall. Security policy
for the setgroups() syscall follows the same policies that are
installed on the system for setgid() syscalls.
