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

tcp: restrict SO_ATTACH_FILTER to priv users

to users with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability.

This blocks potential side-channel attack where an unprivileged application
attaches a filter to leak TCP sequence/acknowledgment numbers.
