LiangBin has reported a security issue in Linux Security Modules (LSM), which may grant normal user processes escalated privileges.

The problem is that when loading the Capability LSM module as a loadable kernel module, all existing processes gain unintended capabilities granting them root privileges.

Solution
Only use the Capability LSM module when compiled into the kernel.
