See auditd-plugins(5) for motivation: > When the audit daemon starts your plugin, you will be running as root. > If you do not need root privileges, you should change uid/gid to lower > chances of being a target for exploit. If you need to retain capabilities, > using libcap-ng is the simplest way. `libcap_ng` is already in the closure via util-linux and thus does not unnecessarily bloat the system. It is also a very sane idea to allow plugins to drop privileges if they already conveniently support it. (cherry picked from commit 4db1e1c)
