fix prctl privilege escalation and suid_dumpable (CVE-2006-2451)
Based on a patch from Ernie Petrides During security research, Red Hat discovered a behavioral flaw in core dump handling. A local user could create a program that would cause a core file to be dumped into a directory they would not normally have permissions to write to. This could lead to a denial of service (disk consumption), or allow the local user to gain root privileges. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
