[PATCH net] net: fix information leakage in /proc/net/ptype

From: Congyu Liu
Date: Tue Jan 18 2022 - 02:01:12 EST


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. I believe this is minor information leakage as packet socket is
namespace aware.

Add a function pointer in `packet_type` to retrieve the net namespace
of corresponding packet socket. In `ptype_seq_show`, if this
function pointer is not NULL, use it to determine if certain ptype
should be shown.
