Fix dropping of all capabilities
From fd.o bug 88898: systemd-resolved fails to start: Failed to drop capabilities: Operation not permitted Broken in f11943c53ec181829a821c6b27acf828bab71caa. Drop all capabilities: 1. prctl(PR_SET_KEEPCAPS, keep_capabilities != 0) // 0 when we drop all capabilities 2. setresuid() // bye bye capabilities 3. Add CAP_SETPCAP // fails because we have no capabilities 4. Reduce capability bounding set 5. Drop capabilities 6. prctl(PR_SET_KEEPCAPS, 0) Capabilites should always be kept after setresuid() so that the capability bounding set can be reduced. Based-on-a-patch-by: mustrumr97@gmail.com https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88898 We must be careful not to leave PR_SET_KEEPCAPS on. We could use the setresuid() call to drop capabilities, but the rules when capabilities are dropped are fairly complex, since a transition to non-zero uid must happen. Let's instead keep the capabilities during setresuid(), and drop them later.
