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:
IPv4: Attempt to release TCP socket in state 1 00000000b4c925d7
------------[ cut here ]------------
refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
