[PATCH v2 5/8] net: af_can: do not leave a dangling sk pointer in can_create()
From: Ignat Korchagin
Date: Mon Oct 07 2024 - 17:37:24 EST
On error can_create() frees the allocated sk object, but sock_init_data()
has already attached it to the provided sock object. This will leave a
dangling sk pointer in the sock object and may cause use-after-free later.
