[PATCH] wext: Fix RtNetlink ENCODE security permissions
I've just realised that the RtNetlink code does not check the permission for SIOCGIWENCODE and SIOCGIWENCODEEXT, which means that any user can read the encryption keys. The fix is trivial and should go in 2.6.17 alonside the two other patch I sent you last week. Signed-off-by: Jean Tourrilhes <jt@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
