Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2014-117 - capng_lock() in libcap-ng before 0.7.4 sets securebits in an attempt to prevent regaining capabilities using setuid-root programs. This allows a user to run setuid programs, such as seunshare from policycoreutils, as uid 0 but without capabilities, which is potentially dangerous.
