    Can you try this quick hack?

    diff --git a/kernel/capability.c b/kernel/capability.c
    index e57d1aa..4088610 100644
    - --- a/kernel/capability.c
    +++ b/kernel/capability.c
    @@ -109,7 +109,7 @@ out:

    kdata[i].inheritable = pI.cap[i];
    }
    - - while (i < _LINUX_CAPABILITY_U32S) {
    + while (0 && (i < _LINUX_CAPABILITY_U32S)) {
    if (pE.cap[i] || pP.cap[i] || pP.cap[i]) {
    /* Cannot represent w/ legacy structure */
    return -ERANGE;
    Thanks
