From 1b3aa7afb60d34867eea5e73ee943b2a026fc47c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Cox Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 14:29:30 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] cxgb3: Use CAP_SYS_RAWIO for firmware Otherwise theoretically at least CAP_NET_ADMIN Reload new firmware Wait.. Firmware patches kernel So it should be CAY_SYS_RAWIO - not that I suspect this is in fact a credible attack vector!
