From: Ignat Korchagin <ignat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 46f2a11cb82b657fd15bab1c47821b635e03838b ] After sock_init_data() the allocated sk object is attached to the provided sock object. On error, packet_create() frees the sk object leaving the dangling pointer in the sock object on return. Some other code may try to use this pointer and cause use-after-free.
