Feature changed by: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) Feature #312460, revision 2 Title: port issetugid() syscall to linux openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: BSD has a issetugid() syscall that allows programs and libraries to reliably determine whether they were started in a setuid context: http://www.manpagez.com/man/2/issetugid/ This or a similar syscall would be valuable on Linux too, especially in the advent of fscaps where the traditional uid != euid check doesn't work anymore. + Discussion: + #1: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2011-06-06 13:16:18) + This should be brought to the linux-security@vger mailing list. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312460
