kauth_cred_geteuid reports surprising result
Hi
I have a user process that runs as uid root. It calls seteuid/setegid
to temporarily drop privileges. geteuid and geteuid report the
correct euid and egid.
But in the kernel, on a system call, kauth_cred_geteuid(l->l_cred)
and kauth_cred_getegid(l->l_cred) still give me 0 for euid and egid.
I assume I am missing sothing obvious for anyone knowledgable. Is it
obvious for anyone?
