From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.8-rc1 commit e7f7785449a1f459a4a3ca92f82f56fb054dd2b9 category: bugfix bugzilla: 36868 CVE: NA ----------------------------------------------- In 2016 Linus moved install_exec_creds immediately after setup_new_exec, in binfmt_elf as a cleanup and as part of closing a potential information leak. Perform the same cleanup for the other binary formats. Different binary formats doing the same things the same way makes exec easier to reason about and easier to maintain. Greg Ungerer reports:

I tested the the whole series on non-MMU m68k and non-MMU arm (exercising binfmt_flat) and it all tested out with no problems, so for the binfmt_flat changes: Tested-by: Greg Ungerer <gerg@linux-m68k.org>
