[PATCH 5/6] netfilter: nfnetlink: relax strict multicast group check from netlink_bind

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Relax the checking that was introduced in 97840cb ("netfilter:
nfnetlink: fix insufficient validation in nfnetlink_bind") when the
subscription bitmask is used. Existing userspace code code may request
to listen to all of the existing netlink groups by setting an all to one
subscription group bitmask. Netlink already validates subscription via
setsockopt() for us.
