In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: Fix null pointer deref when receiving skb during sock creation
The panic below is observed when receiving ICMP packets with secmark set while an ICMP raw socket is being created. SK_CTX(sk)->label is updated in apparmor_socket_post_create(), but the packet is delivered to the socket before that, causing the null pointer dereference. Drop the packet if label context is not set.
