Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: tcp: fix double sock release on batch realloc
bpf_iter_tcp_batch() releases the current batch via
bpf_iter_tcp_put_batch(), which drops the socket refs and rewrites
each slot with the socket cookie, then grows the batch. cur_sk/end_sk
are kept for bpf_iter_tcp_resume(), but on realloc failure the function
returns ERR_PTR() before resume runs, leaving cur_sk < end_sk over
slots that now hold cookies rather than sock pointers.
bpf_iter_tcp_seq_stop() then calls bpf_iter_tcp_put_batch() again and
dereferences a cookie as a struct sock.
Empty the batch on the failure path so stop() does not release it
again. The sockets were already freed by the first
bpf_iter_tcp_put_batch(), so nothing leaks, and a later read() rescans
the bucket from the start instead of skipping it. The sibling
GFP_NOWAIT failure path still holds real socket references and is left
for stop() to release.
