commit8f815cdde3upstream. A non-privileged user can create a netlink socket with the same port_id as used by an existing open nl80211 netlink socket (e.g. as used by a hostapd process) with a different protocol number. Closing this socket will then lead to the notification going to nl80211's socket release notification handler, and possibly cause an action such as removing a virtual interface. Fix this issue by checking that the netlink protocol is NETLINK_GENERIC. Since generic netlink has no notifier chain of its own, we can't fix the problem more generically.
