commit5c9241f3ceupstream. Commit66b2c338adinitializes the "sk_uid" field in the protocol socket (struct sock) from the "/dev/tapX" device node's owner UID. Per original commit86741ec254("net: core: Add a UID field to struct sock.", 2016-11-04), that's wrong: the idea is to cache the UID of the userspace process that creates the socket. Commit86741ec254mentions socket() and accept(); with "tap", the action that creates the socket is open("/dev/tapX"). Therefore the device node's owner UID is irrelevant. In most cases, "/dev/tapX" will be owned by root, so in practice, commit66b2c338adhas no observable effect: - before, "sk_uid" would be zero, due to undefined behavior (CVE-2023-1076), - after, "sk_uid" would be zero, due to "/dev/tapX" being owned by root. What matters is the (fs)UID of the process performing the open(), so cache that in "sk_uid".

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
