Subject: [PATCH nf] netfilter: lwtunnel: expose read-only sysctl nf_hooks_lwtunnel for non init-netns
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 00:19:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260824221902.96694-1-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
Expose nf_hooks_lwtunnel sysctl with 0444 mode from non init-netns
instead of 0644, sashiko reports this is exposing a global static branch
to modification by unprivileged users.
Fixes: a2225e0250c5 ("netfilter: move the sysctl nf_hooks_lwtunnel into the netfilter core")
