Subject: [RFC] Restrict writes into untrusted FIFOs and regular files
Disallows writing into FIFOs or regular files not owned by the user
in world writable sticky directories, unless the owner is the same as
that of the directory or the file is opened without the O_CREAT flag.
The purpose is to make data spoofing attacks harder.
This protection can be turned on and off separately for FIFOs and regular
files via sysctl, just like the symlinks/hardlinks protection.
This patch is based on Openwall's "HARDEN_FIFO" feature by Solar
Designer <solar at openwall.com>.
