Linux kernel 2.6.x does not properly restrict socket policy access to 
users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, which could allow local users 
to conduct unauthorized activities via (1) ipv4/ip_sockglue.c and (2) 
ipv6/ipv6_sockglue.c.

Not in 2.6.12.5 for some reason (and public for a few weeks); opening bug.
