From 46833a86f7ab30101096d81117dd250bfae74c6f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Pecovnik Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2014 21:11:16 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] net: Fix permission check in netlink_connect() netlink_sendmsg() was changed to prevent non-root processes from sending messages with dst_pid != 0. netlink_connect() however still only checks if nladdr->nl_groups is set. This patch modifies netlink_connect() to check for the same condition. Signed-off-by: Mike Pecovnik Signed-off-by: David S.
