CRED: Guard the setprocattr security hook against ptrace
Guard the setprocattr security hook against ptrace by taking the target task's cred_guard_mutex around it. The problem is that setprocattr() may otherwise note the lack of a debugger, and then perform an action on that basis whilst letting a debugger attach between the two points. Holding cred_guard_mutex across the test and the action prevents ptrace_attach() from doing that. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
