The exit_notify function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux kernel before
2.6.30-rc1 does not restrict exit signals when the CAP_KILL capability is
held, which allows local users to send an arbitrary signal to a process by
running a program that modifies the exit_signal field and then uses an exec
system call to launch a setuid application.
