  This patchset restricts dangerous file permissions, either SUID binaries or
executable binaries within /var/ipfire/ owned by "nobody", to their absolute
need-to-work basis. Hereby, we make privilege escalation attempts carried out
by "nobody" against IPFire-specific files harder, as there is no direct vehicle
to write in arbitrary shell code which is then executed later on.

Partially fixes: #12619

Peter Müller (20):
  GnuPG does not need to have a SUID bit set
