Subject: dccp: check sk for closed state in dccp_sendmsg()
From: Alexey Kodanev <alexey.kodanev@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 67f93df79aeefc3add4e4b31a752600f834236e2 ]
dccp_disconnect() sets 'dp->dccps_hc_tx_ccid' tx handler to NULL,
therefore if DCCP socket is disconnected and dccp_sendmsg() is
called after it, it will cause a NULL pointer dereference in
dccp_write_xmit().
This crash and the reproducer was reported by syzbot. Looks like
it is reproduced if commit 69c64866ce07 ("dccp: CVE-2017-8824:
use-after-free in DCCP code") is applied.
