NVD Description

See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2023 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Fix task hung while purging oob_skb in GC.
syzbot reported a task hung; at the same time, GC was looping infinitely in list_for_each_entry_safe() for OOB skb. [0]
syzbot demonstrated that the list_for_each_entry_safe() was not actually safe in this case.
A single skb could have references for multiple sockets. If we free such a skb in the list_for_each_entry_safe(), the current and next sockets could be unlinked in a single iteration.
unix_notinflight() uses list_del_init() to unlink the socket, so the prefetched next socket forms a loop itself and list_for_each_entry_safe() never stops.
Here, we must use while() and make sure we always fetch the first socket.
