From 505ce4154ac86c250aa4a84a536dd9fc56479bb5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2015 16:19:00 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] net: Verify permission to dest_net in newlink When applicable verify that the caller has permision to create a network device in another network namespace. This check is already present when moving a network device between network namespaces in setlink so all that is needed is to duplicate that check in newlink. This change almost backports cleanly, but there are context conflicts as the code that follows was added in v4.0-rc1 Fixes: b51642f6d77b net: Enable a userns root rtnl calls that are safe for unprivilged users Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
