From 3033fced2f689d4a870b3ba6a8a676db1261d262 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tyler Hicks Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2018 21:56:51 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net-sysfs: require net admin in the init ns for setting tx_maxrate An upcoming change will allow container root to open some /sys/class/net files for writing. The tx_maxrate attribute can result in changes to actual hardware devices so err on the side of caution by requiring CAP_NET_ADMIN in the init namespace in the corresponding attribute store operation.
