Summary
bpf, sockmap: Take state lock for af_unix iter
Details

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.
