Subject: Impersonating a process for file creation purposes
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2015 11:28:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <552F80C8.9060809@redhat.com> (raw)

The ABRT coredump handler has code to emulate default core file creation
(as if no such pipe-based handler was installed).  The handler runs in a
separate process, initially as root.  Currently, the handler just
switches effective IDs and creates the file.  This does not replicate
the SELinux context of the zombie process.

Is there a way to do that?   Is there some recommended way to inherit
all the security-related process attributes?
