Description Eugene Teo (Security Response) 2008-09-08 03:26:32 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #461444 +++

Description of problem:
This commit includes a bugfix for the fragile setuid fixup code in the case that filesystem capabilities are supported (in access()). The effect of this fix is gated on filesystem capability support because changing securebits is only supported when filesystem capabilities support is configured.)
