The original patches fixing CVE-2023-1076 are incorrect. The patches in this series are supposed to "re-fix" CVE-2023-1076 New CVE is CVE-2023-4194.

---------------------------
Commit a096ccca6e50 initializes the "sk_uid" field in the protocol socket (struct sock) from the "/dev/net/tun" device node's owner UID. Per original commit 86741ec25462 ("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. Commit 86741ec25462 mentions socket() and accept(); with "tun", the action that creates the socket is open("/dev/net/tun").
Therefore the device node's owner UID is irrelevant. In most cases, "/dev/net/tun" will be owned by root, so in practice, commit a096ccca6e50 has 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/net/tun" being owned by root.
What matters is the (fs)UID of the process performing the open(), so cache that in "sk_uid".
