Subject: CVE-2021-47285: net/nfc/rawsock.c: fix a permission check bug

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/nfc/rawsock.c: fix a permission check bug

The function rawsock_create() calls a privileged function sk_alloc(), which requires a ns-aware check to check net->user_ns, i.e., ns_capable(). However, the original code checks the init_user_ns using capable(). So we replace the capable() with ns_capable().

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2021-47285 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
