Subject: capget() overflows buffers.
Date: Thu, 22 May 2008 10:04:02 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080522140402.GB2071@codemonkey.org.uk> (raw)

We had a user file a bug report recently that sys_capget is overflowing
a user buffer.

More details and test program are available at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447518

The only recent change in this area was e338d263a76af78fe8f38a72131188b58fceb591
"Add 64-bit capability support to the kernel".

	Dave
