[PATCH 5.10 005/575] binder: use cred instead of task for getsecid

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2021-11-15 18:52:25
Also in: lkml

From: Todd Kjos <redacted>

commit 4d5b5539742d2554591751b4248b0204d20dcc9d upstream.

Use the 'struct cred' saved at binder_open() to lookup
the security ID via security_cred_getsecid(). This
ensures that the security context that opened binder
is the one used to generate the secctx.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 5.4+
Fixes: ec74136ded79 ("binder: create node flag to request sender's security context")
