From 93c647643b48f0131f02e45da3bd367d80443291 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Cernekee Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2017 12:12:27 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] netlink: Add netns check on taps Currently, a nlmon link inside a child namespace can observe systemwide netlink activity. Filter the traffic so that nlmon can only sniff netlink messages from its own netns. Test case: vpnns -- bash -c "ip link add nlmon0 type nlmon; \ ip link set nlmon0 up; \ tcpdump -i nlmon0 -q -w /tmp/nlmon.pcap -U" & sudo ip xfrm state add src 10.1.1.1 dst 10.1.1.2 proto esp \ spi 0x1 mode transport \ auth sha1 0x6162633132330000000000000000000000000000 \ enc aes 0x00000000000000000000000000000000 grep --binary abc123 /tmp/nlmon.pcap Signed-off-by: Kevin Cernekee Signed-off-by: David S.
