But that should be long fixed. See link below for more context. Second is that some of the messages may contain data that is root only. But this should be handled with a finer granularity, which is being done at the protocol layer. The only problematic protocols are nf_queue and the firewall netlink. Hence, this restriction for non-root access was relaxed for NETLINK_ROUTE initially: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20020612013101.A22399@wotan.suse.de/ This restriction has also been removed for following protocols: NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT, NETLINK_AUDIT, NETLINK_SOCK_DIAG, NETLINK_GENERIC, NETLINK_SELINUX. Since process connector messages are not sensitive (process fork, exit notifications etc.), and anyone can read /proc data, we can allow non-root access here. However, since process event notification is not the only consumer of NETLINK_CONNECTOR, we can make this change even more fine grained than the protocol level, by checking for multicast group within the protocol. Set perm_groups for CN_IDX_PROC to 1 indicating it has non-root access. Reason we need this change is we cannot run our DB application as root.
