From 62924af247e95de7041a6d6f2d06cdd05152e2dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso Date: Sun, 4 Jan 2015 15:20:41 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nfnetlink: relax strict multicast group check from netlink_bind 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.
