Subject: [PATCH net v4 7/7] xfrm: xfrm_interface: require CAP_NET_ADMIN in the device netns for changelink
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 00:31:10 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609163110.1717419-8-maoyixie.tju@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260609163110.1717419-1-maoyixie.tju@gmail.com>
xfrmi_changelink() rewrites the interface in its creation netns. After an
IFLA_NET_NS_FD migration that netns is not the caller's, but the rtnl
changelink path only checks CAP_NET_ADMIN against the caller's netns. A
caller with caps only in its current netns can then rewrite an interface
in another netns.
Gate the op on net_admin_capable() at its top, before any attribute is
parsed. The check is skipped when the interface netns is the device's
current netns, where the rtnl path already checked the cap.
