  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\naudit: fix incorrect inheritable capability in CAPSET records\n\n__audit_log_capset() records the effective capability set into the\ninheritable field due to a copy-paste error. Every CAPSET audit\nrecord therefore reports cap_pi (process inheritable) with the value\nof cap_effective instead of cap_inheritable.\n\nThis silently corrupts audit data used for compliance and forensic\nanalysis: an attacker who modifies inheritable capabilities to\nprepare for a privilege-escalating exec would have the change masked\nin the audit trail.\n\nThe bug has been present since the original introduction of CAPSET\naudit records in 2008.",
