Subject: [PATCH net] net: psp: require admin permission for dev-set and key-rotate
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 12:58:56 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427195856.401223-1-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
The dev-set and key-rotate netlink operations modify shared device
state (PSP version configuration and cryptographic key material,
respectively) but do not require CAP_NET_ADMIN. The only access
control is psp_dev_check_access() which merely verifies netns
membership.
Fixes: 00c94ca2b99e ("psp: base PSP device support")
