Subject: [PATCH] generic_permission: MAY_OPEN is not write access
Date: Tue, 29 Dec 2009 14:50:19 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091229205019.GA18257@us.ibm.com> (raw)
generic_permission was refusing CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH-enabled
processes from opening DAC-protected files read-only, because
do_filp_open adds MAY_OPEN to the open mask.
Ignore MAY_OPEN. After this patch, CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH is
again sufficient to open(fname, O_RDONLY) on a file to which
DAC otherwise refuses us read permission.
