Merge branch 'tun-tap-uid'



Laszlo Ersek says:

====================
tun/tap: set sk_uid from current_fsuid()

The original patches fixing CVE-2023-1076 are incorrect in my opinion.
This small series fixes them up; see the individual commit messages for
explanation.

I have a very elaborate test procedure demonstrating the problem for
both tun and tap; it involves libvirt, qemu, and "crash". I can share
that procedure if necessary, but it's indeed quite long (I wrote it
originally for our QE team).

The patches in this series are supposed to "re-fix" CVE-2023-1076; given
that said CVE is classified as Low Impact (CVSSv3=5.5), I'm posting this
publicly, and not suggesting any embargo. Red Hat Product Security may
assign a new CVE number later.

I've tested the patches on top of v6.5-rc4, with "crash" built at commit
c74f375e0ef7.
