How did you miss this ?

Again, please read my patch and mails **carefully**.

unix_sk(sk)->oob_sk wasn't cleared properly and illegal access happens
in unix_stream_recv_urg(), where ->oob_skb is dereferenced.

Here's _technical_ thing that you want.

Please do not respond if you just ask without thinking.
