In net/socket.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.1, there is a race
condition between fchownat and close in cases where they target the same
socket file descriptor, related to the sock_close and sockfs_setattr
functions. fchownat does not increment the file descriptor reference count,
which allows close to set the socket to NULL during fchownat’s execution,
leading to a NULL pointer dereference and system crash.
