"Changes since 1.0.5: * security: whitelist the getcwd syscall *
security: fix build on systems w/out si_syscall * security: whitelist
the futex syscall * security: whitelist dup syscalls * security: do
not warn when seccomp is disabled in the kernel * security: whitelist
fakeroot syscalls * security: add a debug handler for seccomp *
security: clean up syscall ifdefs * security: use seccomp to lock
ourselves down * security: lock down privs a bit via prctl * security:
leverage namespaces to restrict the runtime a bit * lddtree.sh: fix
interp handling when doing a full listing * lddtree.py: fix glob
handling w/ld.so.conf * scanelf: fix memory leak with the -s option

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues."
