CVE-2023-47480: Unchecked Privilege Dropcve-2023-47480-unchecked-privilege-drop

The return value of a privilege-dropping function like setuid() or setgid() is ignored. If the system call fails (e.g., due to resource limits like RLIMIT_NPROC), the program may silently continue executing with unintended elevated privileges, leading to a local privilege escalation vulnerability. Always check the return value and handle failures appropriate
