How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:9 python3-perf.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3-perf package and not the python3-perf package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

calipso: Don't call calipso functions for AF_INET sk.

syzkaller reported a null-ptr-deref in txopt_get(). [0]

The offset 0x70 was of struct ipv6_txoptions in struct ipv6_pinfo, so struct ipv6_pinfo was NULL there.

However, this never happens for IPv6 sockets as inet_sk(sk)->pinet6 is always set in inet6_create(), meaning the socket was not IPv6 one.

The root cause is missing validation in netlbl_conn_setattr().

netlbl_conn_setattr() switches branches based on struct sockaddr.sa_family, which is passed from userspace. However, netlbl_conn_setattr() does not check if the address family matches the socket.

The syzkaller must have called connect() for an IPv6 address on an IPv4 socket.

We have a proper validation in tcp_v[46]_connect(), but security_socket_connect() is called in the earlier stage.

Let's copy the validation to netlbl_conn_setattr().
