Just learning about the privilege escalation method provided by setuid. Correct me if I am wrong but what it does is change the uid of the current process to whatever uid I set. Right ?
So what stops me from writing my own C program and calling setuid(0) within it and gaining root privileges ?

Perl::Critic::Policy::Modules::ProhibitEvilModules(3pm) User Contributed Perl DocumentationPerl::Critic::Policy::Modules::ProhibitEvilModules(3pm)NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::Modules::ProhibitEvilModules - Ban modules that aren't blessed by your shop.
AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION
Use this policy if you wish to prohibit the use of specific modules. These may be modules that you feel are deprecated, buggy,
unsupported, insecure, or just don't like.
CONFIGURATION
The set of prohibited modules is configurable via the "modules" and "modules_file" options.
The value of "modules" should be a string of space-delimited, fully qualified module names and/or regular expressions. An example of
prohibiting two specific modules in a .perlcriticrc file:
[Modules::ProhibitEvilModules]
modules = Getopt::Std Autoload
Regular expressions are identified by values beginning and ending with slashes. Any module with a name that matches "m/pattern/" will be
forbidden. For example:
[Modules::ProhibitEvilModules]
modules = /Acme::/
would cause all modules that match "m/Acme::/" to be forbidden.
In addition, you can override the default message ("Prohibited module "module" used") with your own, in order to give suggestions for
alternative action. To do so, put your message in curly braces after the module name or regular expression. Like this:
[Modules::ProhibitEvilModules]
modules = Fatal {Found use of Fatal. Use autodie instead} /Acme::/ {We don't use joke modules}
Similarly, the "modules_file" option gives the name of a file containing specifications for prohibited modules. Only one module
specification is allowed per line and comments start with an octothorp and run to end of line; no curly braces are necessary for delimiting
messages:
Evil # Prohibit the "Evil" module and use the default message.
# Prohibit the "Fatal" module and give a replacement message.
Fatal Found use of Fatal. Use autodie instead.
# Use a regular expression.
/Acme::/ We don't use joke modules.
By default, the modules that have been deprecated by the Perl 5 Porters are reported; at the time of writing these are Class::ISA,
Pod::Plainer, Shell, and Switch. Specifying a value for the "modules" option will override this.
NOTES
Note that this policy doesn't apply to pragmas.
