kernel: rtnetlink: add missing netlink_ns_capable() check for peer netns

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's rtnetlink component. An unprivileged local user, leveraging a user namespace, can exploit a missing CAPNETADMIN capability check in the rtnlnewlink function. This allows the user to create paired network devices in arbitrary network namespaces, including the...

The vulnerability of the __netlink_ns_capable() function in the Linux operating system allows a hacker to trigger a service failure.

The vulnerability of the netlinknscapable function net/netlink/afnetlink.c in the Linux operating system is related to the assignment of a null pointer. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to cause a service failure...

kernel: NULL pointer dereference in af_netlink.c:__netlink_ns_capable() allows for denial of service

The Linux kernel was found to be vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference bug in the netlinknscapable function in the net/netlink/afnetlink.c file. A local attacker could exploit this when a net namespace with a netnsid is assigned to cause a kernel panic and a denial of service...

Linux kernel denial of service vulnerability (CNVD-2018-24298)

Linux kernel is the kernel used by Linux, the open source operating system released by the Linux Foundation in the United States. A denial of service vulnerability exists in the 'netlinknscapable' function of the net/netlink/afnetlink.c file in versions of Linux kernel prior to 4.15-rc8, which ca...
