Nice...but...SELINUX?

[Zibri]

Nice and all, but with selinux enforcing, getting root is not enough.

Anhh... actually Yes, u r correct...
Thanks for pointing it out, as I haven't mentioned that in the To-Do list section of the README.md file.
I haven't worked with SELinux much, till now I don't know how to get around SELinux
But yes, I do have plans for it.
If u have any good resource related to it, or have any ideas, u are very much welcome to implement/ perform PR (if u want) !

Thanks again, for reminding me.

Also:

1. it won't work on android (ARM64)
2. a nice trick.. instead of

	struct cred *root = prepare_creds();

	if (root == NULL)
	{
		return;
	}

	// Updating ids to 0 i.e. root
	root->uid.val = root->gid.val = 0;
	root->euid.val = root->egid.val = 0;
	root->suid.val = root->sgid.val = 0;
	root->fsuid.val = root->fsgid.val = 0;

	// Setting the updated value to cred structure
	commit_creds(root);

how about this nice oneliner?

commit_creds(prepare_kernel_cred(pid_task(find_vpid(0), PIDTYPE_PID)));

Use 0 to become "kernel" and 1 to become "init" :D
I wonder why nobody uses that.. it's so elegant ;)

Or an even shorter:
commit_creds(prepare_kernel_cred(NULL));

any update on this as well? I posted another "any update?" issue somewhere else as well :)

also, can we pin this issue? I am watching over it quite a lot. 👍🏼
