Vulnerability Type: +Priv 
CWE ID: CWE-264
Summary: The scm_check_creds function in net/core/scm.c in the Linux kernel before 3.11 performs a capability check in an incorrect namespace, which allows local users to gain privileges via PID spoofing.
Commit Message: net: Check the correct namespace when spoofing pid over SCM_RIGHTS

This is a security bug.

The follow-up will fix nsproxy to discourage this type of issue from
happening again.
