Hi, While not as bad as CVE-2010-4661 (unprivileged module loading) I'd like to get a CVE assigned for this issue for tracking purposes: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/24/203 Basically "ifconfig $module" will load any module as long as the process has CAP_NET_ADMIN (ignoring CAP_SYS_MODULE). -Kees -- Kees Cook Ubuntu Security Team
