netfilter: nfnetlink_cthelper: Add missing permission checks
commit 4b380c42f7d00a395feede754f0bc2292eebe6e5 upstream. The capability check in nfnetlink_rcv() verifies that the caller has CAP_NET_ADMIN in the namespace that "owns" the netlink socket. However, nfnl_cthelper_list is shared by all net namespaces on the system. An unprivileged user can create user and net namespaces in which he holds CAP_NET_ADMIN to bypass the netlink_net_capable() check: $ nfct helper list nfct v1.4.4: netlink error: Operation not permitted $ vpnns -- nfct helper list { .name = ftp, .queuenum = 0, .l3protonum = 2, .l4protonum = 6, .priv_data_len = 24, .status = enabled, }; Add capable() checks in nfnetlink_cthelper, as this is cleaner than trying to generalize the solution.
