Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: do not leave a dangling sk pointer, when socket creation fails

It is possible to trigger a use-after-free by: * attaching an fentry probe to __sock_release() and the probe calling the bpf_get_socket_cookie() helper * running traceroute -I 1.1.1.1 on a freshly booted VM

A KASAN enabled kernel will log something like below (decoded and stripped):

Fix this by clearing the struct socket reference in sk_common_release() to cover all protocol families create functions, which may already attached the reference to the sk object with sock_init_data().
