From 56ae5f7c9230c0aa474eef638cf9bf8ae6a79ab1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Cernekee Date: Sun, 3 Dec 2017 12:12:45 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nfnetlink_cthelper: Add missing permission checks The capability check in nfnetlink_rcv() verifies that the caller has CAP_NET_ADMIN in the namespace that "owns" the netlink socket. However, nfnl_cthelper_list is shared by all net namespaces on the system. An unprivileged user can create user and net namespaces in which he holds CAP_NET_ADMIN to bypass the netlink_net_capable() check: $ nfct helper list nfct v1.4.4: netlink error: Operation not permitted $ vpnns -- nfct helper list { .name = ftp, .queuenum = 0, .l3protonum = 2, .l4protonum = 6, .priv_data_len = 24, .status = enabled, }; Add capable() checks in nfnetlink_cthelper, as this is cleaner than trying to generalize the solution.
