 In the Linux kernel before 4.13.5, a local user could create keyrings for
 other users via keyctl commands, setting unwanted defaults or causing a
 denial of service.

 properly prevent a user from creating keyrings for other users. A local
 attacker could use this cause a denial of service or expose sensitive
 information.
