5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ignat Korchagin <ignat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 9365fa510c6f82e3aa550a09d0c5c6b44dbc78ff ] sock_init_data() attaches the allocated sk object to the provided sock object. If inet_create() fails later, the sk object is freed, but the sock object retains the dangling pointer, which may create use-after-free later. Clear the sk pointer in the sock object on error.
