From: Hannes Frederic Sowa Date: Tue, 5 Jan 2016 09:46:00 +0000 (+0100) Subject: bridge: Only call /sbin/bridge-stp for the initial network namespace X-Git-Tag: Ubuntu-5.2.0-15.16~10071^2~9 X-Git-Url: https://git.proxmox.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ff62198553e43cdffa9d539f6165d3e83f8a42bc;p=mirror_ubuntu-eoan-kernel.git bridge: Only call /sbin/bridge-stp for the initial network namespace [I stole this patch from Eric Biederman. He wrote:] > There is no defined mechanism to pass network namespace information > into /sbin/bridge-stp therefore don't even try to invoke it except > for bridge devices in the initial network namespace. > > It is possible for unprivileged users to cause /sbin/bridge-stp to be > invoked for any network device name which if /sbin/bridge-stp does not > guard against unreasonable arguments or being invoked twice on the > same network device could cause problems.
