SubjectRe: PROBLEM?: "permission denied" when accessing /proc/self/fd/* after setuid

You're right - from <http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.22>:

commit 8948e11f450e6189a79e47d6051c3d5a0b98e3f3
Author: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@openvz.org>
Date: Tue May 8 00:23:35 2007 -0700

Allow access to /proc/$PID/fd after setuid()

/proc/$PID/fd has r-x------ permissions, so if process does setuid(), it
will not be able to access /proc/*/fd/. This breaks fstatat() emulation
in glibc.

open("foo", O_RDONLY|O_DIRECTORY) = 4
setuid32(65534) = 0
stat64("/proc/self/fd/4/bar", 0xbfafb298) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)


However, one of the kernels I tried this on (and failed) was a 2.6.24-19 -
is it possible this patch was backed out?

Cheers,
--dt
