Ido Schimmel 44ec98ea5e psample: Require 'CAP_NET_ADMIN' when joining "packets" group ... The "psample" generic netlink family notifies sampled packets over the "packets" multicast group. This is problematic since by default generic netlink allows non-root users to listen to these notifications. Fix by marking the group with the 'GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM' flag. This will prevent non-root users or root without the 'CAP_NET_ADMIN' capability (in the user namespace owning the network namespace) from joining the group. Tested using [1].
