Description

Adds 32-bit POSIX capabilities support for applications that inspect or use fine-grained Linux privileges. It helps compatibility software work with capability metadata instead of relying only on full root privileges.

Capabilities affect security boundaries. Applications and administrators must handle them carefully because incorrect capability use can grant more power than intended.
