Subject: Cygwin: newgrp: only allow group from supplementary group list
X-Git-Url: https://sourceware.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0e3bb302dec35e79dc778c3bcd213e063335b67c;p=newlib-cygwin.git

Cygwin: newgrp: only allow group from supplementary group list

Windows only allows to set the primary group to a group already
present in the TOKEN_GROUP list.  Cygwin OTOH fakes success at
setgid() time, to allow a subsequent call to setuid() to do
the actual account switching.  To have a sane behaviour in the
command line tool, check group membership and disallow to switch
to groups other than those already present in the user token.

Fixes: 8bd56ec873453 ("Cygwin: newgrp: first full version")
