airo: Add missing CAP_NET_ADMIN check in AIROOLDIOCTL/SIOCDEVPRIVATE
The driver for Cisco Aironet 4500 and 4800 series cards (airo.c), implements AIROOLDIOCTL/SIOCDEVPRIVATE in airo_ioctl(). The ioctl handler copies an aironet_ioctl struct from userspace, which includes a command. Some of the commands are handled in readrids(), where the user controlled command is converted into a driver-internal value called "ridcode". There are two command values, AIROGWEPKTMP and AIROGWEPKNV, which correspond to ridcode values of RID_WEP_TEMP and RID_WEP_PERM respectively. These commands both have checks that the user has CAP_NET_ADMIN, with the comment that "Only super-user can read WEP keys", otherwise they return -EPERM. However there is another command value, AIRORRID, that lets the user specify the ridcode value directly, with no other checks. This means the user can bypass the CAP_NET_ADMIN check on AIROGWEPKTMP and AIROGWEPKNV. Fix it by moving the CAP_NET_ADMIN check out of the command handling and instead do it later based on the ridcode. That way regardless of whether the ridcode is set via AIROGWEPKTMP or AIROGWEPKNV, or passed in using AIRORID, we always do the CAP_NET_ADMIN check. Found by Ilja by code inspection, not tested as I don't have the required hardware.
