Privileged programms are always an attack surface, but mounting filesystems with ``nosuid`` flag doesn't provide enough granularity in SUID binaries management. This LSM module provides a single control point for all SUID binaries. When this submodule is enabled, SUID bits on all binaries except explicitly listed are system-wide ignored.
