[PATCH] NETFILTER: Missing check for CAP_NET_ADMIN in iptables compat layer
The 32bit compatibility layer has no CAP_NET_ADMIN check in compat_do_ipt_get_ctl, which for example allows to list the current iptables rules even without having that capability (the non-compat version requires it). Other capabilities might be required to exploit the bug (eg. CAP_NET_RAW to get the nfnetlink socket?), so a plain user can't exploit it, but a setup actually using the posix capability system might very well hit such a constellation of granted capabilities.
