commit af85d1772e31fed34165a1b3decef340cf4080c0 upstream.
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.
