Use After Free Affecting kernel-firmware package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-firmware package and not the kernel-firmware package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

af_unix: Don't return OOB skb in manage_oob().

syzbot reported use-after-free in unix_stream_recv_urg(). [0]

The scenario is

1. send(MSG_OOB)
2. recv(MSG_OOB) -> The consumed OOB remains in recv queue
3. send(MSG_OOB)
4. recv() -> manage_oob() returns the next skb of the consumed OOB -> This is also OOB, but unix_sk(sk)->oob_skb is not cleared
5. recv(MSG_OOB) -> unix_sk(sk)->oob_skb is used but already freed

The recent commit 8594d9b85c07 ("af_unix: Don't call skb_get() for OOB skb.") uncovered the issue.

If the OOB skb is consumed and the next skb is peeked in manage_oob(), we still need to check if the skb is OOB.

Let's do so by falling back to the following checks in manage_oob() and add the test case in selftest.

Note that we need to add a similar check for SIOCATMARK.
