From 02276bda4a2bf094fcde89fb5db4d9e86347ebf4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2012 23:10:16 -0700 Subject: audit: Use current instead of NETLINK_CREDS() in audit_filter Get caller process uid and gid and pid values from the current task instead of the NETLINK_CB. This is simpler than passing NETLINK_CREDS from from audit_receive_msg to audit_filter_user_rules and avoid the chance of being hit by the occassional bugs in netlink uid/gid credential passing. This is a safe changes because all netlink requests are processed in the task of the sending process. Cc: Al Viro Cc: Eric Paris Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
