Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Get user_ns from in_skb in unix_diag_get_exact().
Wei Chen reported a NULL deref in sk_user_ns() [0][1], and Paolo diagnosed
the root cause: in unix_diag_get_exact(), the newly allocated skb does not
have sk. [2]
We must get the user_ns from the NETLINK_CB(in_skb).sk and pass it to
sk_diag_fill().
