[ Upstream commit826f328e2b] DCB uses the same handler function for both RTM_GETDCB and RTM_SETDCB messages. dcb_doit() bounces RTM_SETDCB mesasges if the user does not have the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability. However, the operation to be performed is not decided from the DCB message type, but from the DCB command. Thus DCB_CMD_*_GET commands are used for reading DCB objects, the corresponding SET and DEL commands are used for manipulation. The assumption is that set-like commands will be sent via an RTM_SETDCB message, and get-like ones via RTM_GETDCB. However, this assumption is not enforced. It is therefore possible to manipulate DCB objects without CAP_NET_ADMIN capability by sending the corresponding command in an RTM_GETDCB message. That is a bug. Fix it by validating the type of the request message against the type used for the response.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
