Importing the patch from meta-selinux, which itself was a backport from
the upstream source tree.

I mentioned a while back that I had at least one patch in meta-selinux that may
apply to meta-security as well.  I don't know if you guys are interested in this
or not since the primary tool to demonstrate the exploit is seunshare, but it is
a problem in libcap-ng itself and it is exploitable outside of the selinux
framework.

+libcap-ng: local privilege escalation due to capng_lock
+
+Following the discussion here:
+
+   http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2014/04/29/7
+
+This is known to impact SELinux tools, however the issue could be exploited by
+any application using the relevant functions in libcap-ng provided it is suid
+root.

+-capng_lock will take steps to prevent children of the current process to regain full privileges if the uid is 0. This should be called while possessing the CAP_SETPCAP capability in the kernel. This function will do the following if permitted by the kernel: Set the NOROOT option on for PR_SET_SECUREBITS, set the NOROOT_LOCKED option to on for PR_SET_SECUREBITS, set the PR_NO_SETUID_FIXUP option on for PR_SET_SECUREBITS, and set the PR_NO_SETUID_FIXUP_LOCKED option on for PR_SET_SECUREBITS.
++capng_lock will take steps to prevent children of the current process from gaining privileges by executing setuid programs.  This should be called while possessing the CAP_SETPCAP capability in the kernel.
+ 
++This function will do the following if permitted by the kernel:  If the kernel supports PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS, it will use it.  Otherwise it will set the NOROOT option on for PR_SET_SECUREBITS, set the NOROOT_LOCKED option to on for PR_SET_SECUREBITS, set the PR_NO_SETUID_FIXUP option on for PR_SET_SECUREBITS, and set the PR_NO_SETUID_FIXUP_LOCKED option on for PR_SET_SECUREBITS.  If both fail, it will return an error.
+ 
+ .SH "RETURN VALUE"
+ 
+-This returns 0 on success and a negative number on failure. -1 means a failure setting any of the PR_SET_SECUREBITS options.
++This returns 0 on success and a negative number on failure. -1 means a failure to use PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS and a failure setting any of the PR_SET_SECUREBITS options.
