CVE-2024-56600 (GCVE-0-2024-56600)

Title
net: inet6: do not leave a dangling sk pointer in inet6_create()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: inet6: do not leave a dangling sk pointer in inet6_create() sock_init_data() attaches the allocated sk pointer to the provided sock object. If inet6_create() fails later, the sk object is released, but the sock object retains the dangling sk pointer, which may cause use-after-free later. Clear the sock sk pointer on error.

No packet processing path reaches this function.\nAC:L - The failure path is deterministic, not a race: `socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_ICMPV6)` fails with -EACCES for any user outside the default-empty `ping_group_range`, and can be repeated in a tight loop to spray and reclaim the freed `struct sock` reliably.\nPR:L - Any unprivileged local user can trigger the dangling pointer \u2014 `ping_init_sock()` returning -EACCES is precisely the unprivileged case, and the `BPF_CGROUP_RUN_PROG_INET_SOCK` rejection path applies to ordinary confined services. No capability is needed, and the SOCK_RAW variant is reachable via `unshare -Urn`.\nUI:N - Exploitation is entirely driven by the attacker\u0027s own syscalls; no victim action or interaction is required.\nS:U - The freed object and the corrupted state are both kernel networking structures within the same security authority; there is no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossed.\nC:H - The use-after-free lets an attacker reclaim the freed `struct sock` slab object with controlled data while a live `struct socket` still references it, enabling disclosure of kernel memory \u2014 the upstream KASAN report shows exactly such a UAF read in `__sock_gen_cookie()`.\nI:H - Control over the contents of the reclaimed `struct sock` (including embedded function pointers and `sk_prot`/`sk_destruct` fields) that are later dereferenced through the stale `sock-\u003esk` yields an arbitrary-write / control-flow-hijack primitive, the standard outcome for a kernel UAF on a sprayable slab object.\nA:H - Dereferencing the freed socket causes a kernel oops or panic, and the trigger is repeatable at will by an unprivileged user, making it a reliable local denial of service."
