CVE-2023-1076 - Medium Severity Vulnerability
The Linux Kernel
Library home page: https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/?wsslib=linux
Found in HEAD commit: ad22f8de1f1d069a1e8715eb4af9718f2d87a974
Found in base branch: master
A flaw was found in the Linux Kernel. The tun/tap sockets have their socket UID hardcoded to 0 due to a type confusion in their initialization function. While it will be often correct, as tuntap devices require CAP_NET_ADMIN, it may not always be the case, e.g., a non-root user only having that capability. This would make tun/tap sockets being incorrectly treated in filtering/routing decisions, possibly bypassing network filters.
