Official description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf, sockmap: Fix repeated calls to sock_put() when msg has more_data In tcp_bpf_send_verdict() redirection, the eval variable is assigned to __SK_REDIRECT after the apply_bytes data is sent, if msg has more_data, sock_put() will be called multiple times. We should reset the eval variable to __SK_NONE every time more_data starts. This causes: IPv4: Attempt to release TCP socket in state 1 00000000b4c925d7 ------------[ cut here ]------------ refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
