    [$] A capability set for user namespaces

    Description:
    User namespaces in Linux create an
    environment in which all privileges are granted, but their effect is
    contained within the namespace; they have become an important tool for the implementation of containers. They have also become a significant source
    of worries for people who do not like the increased attack surface they
    create for the kernel. Various attempts have been made to restrict that
    attack surface over the years; the latest is user namespace
    capabilities , posted by Jonathan Calmels.
