psample: Require 'CAP_NET_ADMIN' when joining "packets" group
[ 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
Failed to join "packets" multicast group
