check source of the netlink message and fix sequence tracking logic
This patch changes the callback handlers to include netlink portID checking. Thus, we avoid that any malicious process can spoof messages. If portid, sequence number of the message is != 0, we check if the message is what we expect. This allows to use the same netlink channel for dumps (portid, seq != 0) and event-based notifications (portid, seq == 0). Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
