    net: fix information leakage in /proc/net/ptype · 47934e06
    Congyu Liu authored
    In one net namespace, after creating a packet socket without binding
    it to a device, users in other net namespaces can observe the new
    `packet_type` added by this packet socket by reading `/proc/net/ptype`
    file. This is minor information leakage as packet socket is
    namespace aware.
    
    Add a net pointer in `packet_type` to keep the net namespace of
    of corresponding packet socket. In `ptype_seq_show`, this net pointer
    must be checked when it is not NULL.
    
    Fixes: 2feb27db ("[NETNS]: Minor information leak via /proc/net/ptype file.")
