Description Miloslav Trmač 2010-01-25 20:00:01 UTC

This page tracks possible improvements to Fedora's security based on restricted POSIX capabilities.

See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/LowerProcessCapabilities , https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ProtectingBinariesUsingCapabilities for rationale.

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2010-03-15 14:13:19 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 13 development cycle.
Changing version to '13'.

Comment 2 Miloslav Trmač 2010-07-02 13:13:48 UTC

I don't plan to implement these changes any more - in particular because the file owner can change the permissions without CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE.
