From: Kirill A. Korinskiy <catap at catap.ru>

capset(CAP_CHOWN) grand the proccess rule to change arbitrary to file.

CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH bypass file read, write and
execute permission checks.

CAP_SETUID need for rewert back to privileged processes (whose
effective user ID is 0).
