The swconfig kernel infrastructure fails to do any permissions checks when changing settings. As such an ordinary user account on a device with a switch can change switch settings without any special permissions. Routers generally have few non-admin users so this isn't a big hole, but it is a security hole. Likely the greatest danger is for multifunction devices which have a lot of extra daemons, compromising a low-security daemon would allow one to modify switch settings and cause the router/switch to appear to lock-up (or cause other sorts of troublesome nyetwork behavior). Implement a check for CAP_NET_ADMIN in swconfig_set_attr() and deny any requests originating from user contexts lacking this capability.
