CVE-2022-50259

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

bpf, sockmap: fix race in sock_map_free()

sock_map_free() calls release_sock(sk) without owning a reference on the socket. This can cause use-after-free as syzbot found [1]

Jakub Sitnicki already took care of a similar issue in sock_hash_free() in commit 75e68e5bf2c7 (bpf, sockhash: Synchronize delete from bucket list on map free)

[1] refcount_t: decrement hit 0; leaking memory.
