** Description changed:

- kernel: fcaps: clear the same personality flags as suid when fcaps are
- used
+ The cap_bprm_set_creds function in security/commoncap.c in the Linux
+ kernel before 3.3.3 does not properly handle the use of file system
+ capabilities (aka fcaps) for implementing a privileged executable file,
+ which allows local users to bypass intended personality restrictions via
+ a crafted application, as demonstrated by an attack that uses a parent
+ process to disable ASLR.
  
  Break-Fix: - d52fc5dde171f030170a6cb78034d166b13c9445
