[ Upstream commit 44ec98ea5ea9cfecd31a5c4cc124703cb5442832 ]
The "psample" generic netlink family notifies sampled packets over the
"packets" multicast group. This is problematic since by default generic
netlink allows non-root users to listen to these notifications.
Fix by marking the group with the 'GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM' flag. This will
prevent non-root users or root without the 'CAP_NET_ADMIN' capability
(in the user namespace owning the network namespace) from joining the
group.
Tested using [1].
Before:
# capsh -- -c ./psample_repo
# capsh --drop=cap_net_admin -- -c ./psample_repo
After:
# capsh -- -c ./psample_repo
# capsh --drop=cap_net_admin -- -c ./psample_repo

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
