Subject: [PATCH net] s390/qeth: Check CAP_NET_ADMIN for private ioctls
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 16:00:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260723140050.762991-1-aswin@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

Gate the SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctl commands SIOC_QETH_ADP_SET_SNMP_CONTROL,
SIOC_QETH_GET_CARD_TYPE and SIOC_QETH_QUERY_OAT with CAP_NET_ADMIN
capable check to ensure unprivileged users cannot invoke them.
