The audit_filter_rules() function in auditsc.c used the in_[e]group_p()
functions to check GID/EGID match, but these functions use the current
task's credentials, while the comparison should use the credentials of
the task given to audit_filter_rules() as a parameter (tsk).
Note that we can use group_search(cred->group_info, ...) as a
replacement for both in_group_p and in_egroup_p as these functions only
compare the parameter to cred->fsgid/egid and then call group_search.
In fact, the usage of in_group_p was even more incorrect: it compares to
cred->fsgid (which is usually equal to cred->egid) and not cred->gid.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
