CVE-2024-56600: net: inet6: do not leave a dangling sk pointer in inet6_create()

Published Dec 27, 2024
·
Updated

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

net: inet6: do not leave a dangling sk pointer in inet6create()

sockinitdata() attaches the allocated sk pointer to the provided sock object. If inet6create() fails later, the sk object is released, but the sock object retains the dangling sk pointer, which may cause use-after-free later.

Clear the sock sk pointer on error.
