send_signal_locked() rewrites sender ids for the target namespace. Group sends reuse the same siginfo, so one recipient can affect the next. Copy the siginfo before changing it.
Thanks, I'll queue this for 7.3-rc1. I don't see a need to fast-track it into mainline, as 7a0cf094944e is from 2019. Can someone please send along a paragraph which describes the userspace-visible effects of the bug? I think this is important when proposing a backportable fix. Important for all fixes, really. I understand that I'm to take no action with "[PATCH v2 2/2] signal: make send_signal_locked() take const siginfo".
