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
