[PATCH] do_coredump() and not stopping rewrite attacks?

Many warnings are on > http://coderock.org/kj/unused-2.6.19-fs Heh, the very first line: fs/exec.c(1465): remark #593: variable "flag" was set but never used fs/exec.c: 1477 /* 1478 * We cannot trust fsuid as being the "true" uid of the 1479 * process nor do we know its entire history. We only know it 1480 * was tainted so we dump it as root in mode 2. 1481 */ 1482 if (mm->dumpable == 2) { /* Setuid core dump mode */ 1483 flag = O_EXCL; /* Stop rewrite attacks */ 1484 current->fsuid = 0; /* Dump root private */ 1485 } And then filp_open follows with "flag" totally ignored. (akpm: this restores the code to Alan's original version. Andi's "Support piping into commands in /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern" (cset d025c9db) broke it).
