mac80211: make debugfs files root-only
Unfortunately, debugfs can be made to access invalid memory by open()ing a file and then waiting until the corresponding debugfs file has been removed (and, probably, the underlying object.) That could be exploited by any user if the user is able to open debugfs files and can cause networking devices, STA entries or similar to disappear which is quite easy to do. Hence, all debugfs files should be root-only. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
