Description

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

bpf, sockmap: Take state lock for af_unix iter

When a BPF iterator program updates a sockmap, there is a race condition in
unix_stream_bpf_update_proto() where the `peer` pointer can become stale[1]
during a state transition TCP_ESTABLISHED -> TCP_CLOSE.

CPU0 bpf CPU1 close
-------- ----------
// unix_stream_bpf_update_proto()
sk_pair = unix_peer(sk)
if (unlikely(!sk_pair))
return -EINVAL;
// unix_release_sock()
skpair = unix_peer(sk);
unix_peer(sk) = NULL;
sock_put(skpair)
sock_hold(sk_pair) // UaF

More practically, this fix guarantees that the iterator program is
consistently provided with a unix socket that remains stable during
iterator execution.
