From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: From: Marcel Holtmann To: linux-bluetooth@vger.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: Require CAP_NET_ADMIN for HCI User Channel operation Date: Tue, 1 Oct 2013 07:40:01 -0700 Message-Id: <1380638401-39890-1-git-send-email-marcel@holtmann.org> Sender: linux-bluetooth-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: The HCI User Channel operation is an admin operation that puts the device into promiscuous mode for single use. It is more suitable to require CAP_NET_ADMIN than CAP_NET_RAW.
