af_unix: Get user_ns from in_skb in unix_diag_get_exact().
CVE: CVE-2022-48970
Component: kernel
CWE: CWE-476
Severity: Moderate
CVSS v3: 5.6/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Release date: 2022-01-01T00:00:00+00:00

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][1], 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().
