Hello
 I 'm playing with vattribute it seems that I can remove bcapabilities:

/root/reducecap --show
            Capability Effective Permitted Inheritable
CAP_CHOWN X X
......
CAP_MKNOD X X
CAP_LEASE X X
CAP_QUOTACTL X X

vattribute --set --xid 328 --bcap ~MKNOD

 /root/reducecap --show
            Capability Effective Permitted Inheritable
CAP_CHOWN X X
.....
CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG X X
CAP_MKNOD
CAP_LEASE X X
CAP_QUOTACTL X X

but not add it:

vattribute --set --xid 328 --bcap MKNOD

 /root/reducecap --show
            Capability Effective Permitted Inheritable
CAP_CHOWN X X
.....
CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG X X
CAP_MKNOD
CAP_LEASE X X
CAP_QUOTACTL X X

security feature ?

with ccap I can remove and add:

vattribute --set --xid 328 --ccap raw_icmp
cat /proc/virtual/328/status
UseCnt: 67
Tasks: 35
Flags: 0000000202020050
BCaps: fffffffff7fffeff
CCaps: 0000000000000101
Ticks: 0

vattribute --set --xid 328 --ccap ~raw_icmp

cat /proc/virtual/328/status
UseCnt: 67
Tasks: 35
Flags: 0000000202020050
BCaps: fffffffff7fffeff
