+Subject: [PATCH] userns: Don't allow setgroups until a gid mapping has been
+ setablished
+
+setgroups is unique in not needing a valid mapping before it can be called,
+in the case of setgroups(0, NULL) which drops all supplemental groups.
+
+The design of the user namespace assumes that CAP_SETGID can not actually
+be used until a gid mapping is established. Therefore add a helper function
+to see if the user namespace gid mapping has been established and call
+that function in the setgroups permission check.
+
+This is part of the fix for CVE-2014-8989, being able to drop groups
+without privilege using user namespaces.
