This is causing some package upgrades to fail in unprivileged containers. Fix: Patch from linux-next to allow a user with CAP_FOWNER in a user namespace to link to a suid inode if the inode owner is mapped into the user namespace. Regression Potential: The main risks here would be security related since the fix is a loosening of the protected_hardlinks sysctl which serves as a mitigation against some classes of security vulnerabilities. However a user which would now be allowed to link directly would generally be able to create links to the same file via other mechanisms already, so it's unlikely that this creates any additional attack surface in practice. --- Upon trying to do an apt-get upgrade I run into this error: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Reading package lists...
