From 160da84dbb39443fdade7151bc63a88f8e953077 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2013 10:04:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] userns: Allow PR_CAPBSET_DROP in a user namespace. As the capabilites and capability bounding set are per user namespace properties it is safe to allow changing them with just CAP_SETPCAP permission in the user namespace.
