Ido Schimmel 07c8229c02 psample: Require 'CAP_NET_ADMIN' when joining "packets" group
[ Upstream commit 44ec98ea5e ]

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
 Failed to join "packets" multicast group

README

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.
