Title
tipc: require net admin for TIPCv2 netlink mutators
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tipc: require net admin for TIPCv2 netlink mutators TIPCv2 registers mutating generic-netlink operations without admin permission flags. Generic netlink only checks CAP_NET_ADMIN when an operation sets GENL_ADMIN_PERM or GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM, so a local unprivileged process can currently change TIPC state through commands such as TIPC_NL_NET_SET, TIPC_NL_KEY_SET, TIPC_NL_KEY_FLUSH, and bearer enable/disable. The legacy TIPC netlink API already checks netlink_net_capable(..., CAP_NET_ADMIN) for administrative commands. Give the TIPCv2 mutators the equivalent generic-netlink gate. Use GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM, which maps to the same namespace-aware CAP_NET_ADMIN check that netlink_net_capable() performs, so the behaviour matches the legacy path and keeps working for CAP_NET_ADMIN holders in a non-initial user namespace (containers). A QEMU/KASAN repro run as uid/gid 65534 with zero effective capabilities previously succeeded in changing the network id and node identity, setting and flushing key material, and enabling/disabling a UDP bearer. With this patch applied the same operations fail with -EPERM.

Generic netlink only checks CAP_NET_ADMIN when an\noperation sets GENL_ADMIN_PERM or GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM, so a local\nunprivileged process can currently change TIPC state through commands\nsuch as TIPC_NL_NET_SET, TIPC_NL_KEY_SET, TIPC_NL_KEY_FLUSH, and\nbearer enable/disable.\n\nThe legacy TIPC netlink API already checks netlink_net_capable(...,\nCAP_NET_ADMIN) for administrative commands. Give the TIPCv2 mutators\nthe equivalent generic-netlink gate. Use GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM, which\nmaps to the same namespace-aware CAP_NET_ADMIN check that\nnetlink_net_capable() performs, so the behaviour matches the legacy\npath and keeps working for CAP_NET_ADMIN holders in a non-initial user\nnamespace (containers).\n\nA QEMU/KASAN repro run as uid/gid 65534 with zero effective\ncapabilities previously succeeded in changing the network id and node\nidentity, setting and flushing key material, and enabling/disabling a\nUDP bearer. With this patch applied the same operations fail with\n-EPERM."
