Subject: Re: Ответ: VFS, NFS security bug? Should CAP_MKNOD and CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE be added to CAP_FS_MASK?

Quoting J. Bruce Fields (bfields@fieldses.org):

I think the MKNOD part is (based on historical behavior as you
suggested) obvious:  both masks should include CAP_MKNOD and
CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE.

(references: http://lxr.linux.no/linux-old+v2.0.21/fs/ext2/ioctl.c#L60
for immutable and http://lxr.linux.no/linux-old+v2.0.21/fs/namei.c#L503
for mknod)
