Description:
7
 
 The sbni_ioctl function in drivers/net/wan/sbni.c in the wan subsystem in
8
 
 the Linux kernel 2.6.26.3 does not check for the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability
9
 
 before processing a (1) SIOCDEVRESINSTATS, (2) SIOCDEVSHWSTATE, (3)
10
 
 SIOCDEVENSLAVE, or (4) SIOCDEVEMANSIPATE ioctl request, which allows local
11
 
 users to bypass intended capability restrictions.
12
 
Ubuntu-Description:
13
 
 It was discovered that the SBNI WAN driver did not correctly check
14
 
 for the NET_ADMIN capability.  A malicious local root user lacking
15
 
 CAP_NET_ADMIN would be able to change the WAN device configuration,
16
 
 leading to a denial of service.
