This patch-set introduces two separate features aimed at restricting dangerous open in world or group writable sticky directories. The purpose is to prevent exploitable bugs in user-space programs that don't access sticky directories in the proper way. The first patch prevents the O_CREAT open of FIFOs and regular files in world or group writable sticky directories, if they already exists and are owned by someone else. The second patch prevents O_CREAT open in world or group writable sticky when the O_EXCL flag is not set, even if the file doesn't exist yet. More details can be found in the respective commit messages.
Changes in v3: - Fixed format string for uid_t that is unsigned (suggested by Jann Horn). - Stop checking if file's and parent dir's owners match in may_create_no_excl. This will allow to discover potential vulnerabilities more easily.
