NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150600_10_26-rt package and not the kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150600_10_26-rt package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.6 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

net: inet: do not leave a dangling sk pointer in inet_create()

sock_init_data() attaches the allocated sk object to the provided sock object. If inet_create() fails later, the sk object is freed, but the sock object retains the dangling pointer, which may create use-after-free later.

Clear the sk pointer in the sock object on error.
