In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: af_packet: avoid erroring out after sock_init_data() in packet_create() 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.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (< 5.4.287) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.231) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.174) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.120) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.66) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.5)
