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, 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().

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
