// Based on the POSIX.1-2008 2013 edition documentation for setreuid() and
// setregid(), setreuid() and setregid() alone should be sufficient to drop
// privileges. The standard specifies that the saved ID should be set to the
// effective ID whenever the real ID is not -1, or whenever the effective ID
// is set not equal to the real ID. This code never specifies -1, so the
// setreuid() and setregid() alone should work according to the standard.
//
// In practice, on older versions of macOS, setuid() and setgid() (or
// seteuid() and setegid()) must be called first. Otherwise, setreuid() and
// setregid() do not alter the saved IDs, leaving open the possibility for
// future privilege escalation.
//
// The problem exists in 10.9.5 xnu-2422.115.4/bsd/kern/kern_prot.c
// setreuid(). Based on its comments, it purports to set the svuid to the new
// euid when the old svuid doesn’t match one of the new ruid and euid. This
// isn’t how POSIX.1-2008 says it should behave, but it should work for this
// function’s purposes. In reality, setreuid() doesn’t even do this: it sets
// the svuid to the old euid, which does not drop privileges when the old euid
// is different from the desired euid. The workaround of calling setuid() or
// seteuid() before setreuid() works because it sets the euid so that by the
// time setreuid() runs, the old euid is actually the value that ought to be
// set as the svuid. setregid() is similar. This bug was reported as radar
// 18987552, fixed in 10.10.3 and security updates to 10.9.5 and 10.8.5.
//
// setuid() and setgid() alone will only set the saved IDs when running as
// root. When running a setuid non-root or setgid program, they do not alter
// the saved ID, and do not effect a permanent privilege drop.
