CVE-2009-0675 Information

Description

The skfp_ioctl function in drivers/net/skfp/skfddi.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.6 permits SKFP_CLR_STATS requests only when the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability is absent instead of when this capability is present which allows local users to reset the driver statistics related to an \inverted logic\ issue.
