Description
In the case of the cap_net service, when a key present in the old limit was omitted from the new limit, the missing key was treated as "allow any" instead of being rejected.<br />
<br />
In certain scenarios, an application that had previously restricted a subset of network operations could ask for a new limit that extended the permissions of the process.
