- bpf: Fix UAF in sock clone early bailouts Similar to recent commit 9b51a6155d14 (bpf,fork: wipe
->bpf_storage before bailouts that access it), sk_clone() performs an initial shallow copy of the socket
field ->sk_bpf_storage via sock_copy() for the cloned socket newsk. If sk_clone() bails out early (e.g. if
sk_filter_charge() fails) prior to calling bpf_sk_storage_clone(), newsk->sk_bpf_storage still points to
the parent socket's BPF local storage. When newsk is subsequently freed via sk_free(), the deallocation
path (__sk_destruct() -> bpf_sk_storage_free()) destroys the parent socket's BPF local storage, leading to
a use-after-free (UAF) on the parent socket. Fix this by resetting newsk->sk_bpf_storage to NULL
immediately after sock_copy() in sk_clone(), and remove the now redundant initialization from
bpf_sk_storage_clone(). (CVE-2026-68399)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
