Subject: lsm: hold cred_guard_mutex for lsm_set_self_attr()
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4a9b16541ad3faf8bccb398532bf3f8b6bbf1188;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

lsm: hold cred_guard_mutex for lsm_set_self_attr()

Just as proc_pid_attr_write() already does before calling the LSM
hook. This only matters for SELinux and AppArmor which check
whether the process is being ptraced and if so, whether to
allow the transition.
