From: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== [ Upstream commit a0a2a6602496a45ae838a96db8b8173794b5d398 ] The commit 738ac1ebb96d02e0d23bc320302a6ea94c612dec ("net: Clone skb before setting peeked flag") introduced a use-after-free bug in skb_recv_datagram. This is because skb_set_peeked may create a new skb and free the existing one. As it stands the caller will continue to use the old freed skb. This patch fixes it by making skb_set_peeked return the new skb (or the old one if unchanged).
