Subject: net: fix information leakage in /proc/net/ptype
From: Congyu Liu <liu3101@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 47934e06b65637c88a762d9c98329ae6e3238888 upstream.
In one net namespace, after creating a packet socket without binding
it to a device, users in other net namespaces can observe the new
`packet_type` added by this packet socket by reading `/proc/net/ptype`
file. This is minor information leakage as packet socket is
namespace aware.
Add a net pointer in `packet_type` to keep the net namespace of
of corresponding packet socket. In `ptype_seq_show`, this net pointer
must be checked when it is not NULL.
Fixes: 2feb27dbe00c ("[NETNS]: Minor information leak via /proc/net/ptype file.")
