What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

af_unix: Drop oob_skb ref before purging queue in GC.

syzbot reported another task hung in __unix_gc(). [0]

The current while loop assumes that all of the left candidates

have oob_skb and calling kfree_skb(oob_skb) releases the remaining

candidates.

However, I missed a case that oob_skb has self-referencing fd and

another fd and the latter sk is placed before the former in the

candidate list. Then, the while loop never proceeds, resulting

the task hung.

__unix_gc() has the same loop just before purging the collected skb,

so we can call kfree_skb(oob_skb) there and let __skb_queue_purge()

release all inflight sockets.
