CVE-2024-56664 (published 2024-12-27)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf, sockmap: Fix race between element replace and close()

Element replace (with a socket different from the one stored) may race
with socket's close() link popping & unlinking. __sock_map_delete()
unconditionally unrefs the (wrong) element:

// set map[0] = s0
map_update_elem(map, 0, s0)

// drop fd of s0
close(s0)
  sock_map_close()
    lock_sock(sk)               (s0!)
    sock_map_remove_links(sk)
      link = sk_psock_link_pop()
      sock_map_unlink(sk, link)
        sock_map_delete_from_link
                                        // replace map[0] with s1
                                        map_update_elem(map, 0, s1)
                                          sock_map_update_elem
                                (s1!)       lock_sock(sk)
                                            sock_map_update_common
                                              psock = sk_psock(sk)
                                              spin_lock(&stab->lock)
                                              osk = stab->sks[idx]
                                              sock_map_add_link(..., &stab->sks[idx])
                                              sock_map_unref(osk, &stab->sks[idx])
                                                psock = sk_psock(osk)
                                                sk_psock_put(sk, psock)
                                                  if (refcount_dec_and_test(&psock))
                                                    sk_psock_drop(sk, psock)
                                              spin_unlock(&stab->lock)
                                            unlock_sock(sk)
          __sock_map_delete
            spin_lock(&stab->lock)
            sk = *psk                        // s1 replaced s0; sk == s1
            if (!sk_test || sk_test == sk)   // sk_test (s0) != sk (s1); no branch
              sk = xchg(psk, NULL)
            if (sk)
              sock_map_unref(sk, psk)        // unref s1; sks[idx] will dangle
                psock = sk_psock(sk)
                sk_psock_put(sk, psock)
                  if (refcount_dec_and_test())
                    sk_psock_drop(sk, psock)
            spin_unlock(&stab->lock)
    release_sock(sk)

Then close(map) enqueues bpf_map_free_deferred, which finally calls
sock_map_free(). This results in some refcount_t warnings along with
a KASAN splat [1].

Fix __sock_map_delete(), do not allow sock_map_unref() on elements that
may have been replaced.
