Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, sockmap: Fix repeated calls to sock_put() when msg has more_data
In tcp_bpf_send_verdict() redirection, the eval variable is assigned to __SK_REDIRECT after the apply_bytes data is sent, if msg has more_data, sock_put() will be called multiple times.
We should reset the eval variable to __SK_NONE every time more_data starts.
This causes:
