In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
landlock: Fix LOG_SUBDOMAINS_OFF inheritance across fork()
hook_cred_transfer() only copies the Landlock security blob when the
source credential has a domain. This is inconsistent with
landlock_restrict_self() which can set LOG_SUBDOMAINS_OFF on a
credential without creating a domain (via the ruleset_fd=-1 path): the
field is committed but not preserved across fork() because the child's
prepare_creds() calls hook_cred_transfer() which skips the copy when
domain is NULL.
This breaks the documented use case where a process mutes subdomain logs
before forking sandboxed children: the children lose the muting and
their domains produce unexpected audit records.
Fix this by unconditionally copying the Landlock credential blob.
