CVE-2022-49697

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Fix request_sock leak in sk lookup helpers

A customer reported a request_socket leak in a Calico cloud environment. We
found that a BPF program was doing a socket lookup with takes a refcnt on
the socket and that it was finding the request_socket but returning the parent
LISTEN socket via sk_to_full_sk() without decrementing the child request socket
1st, resulting in request_sock slab object leak. This patch retains the
existing behaviour of returning full socks to the caller but it also decrements
the child request_socket if one is present before doing so to prevent the leak.

Thanks to Curtis Taylor for all the help in diagnosing and testing this. And
thanks to Antoine Tenart for the reproducer and patch input.

v2 of this patch contains, refactor as per Daniel Borkmann's suggestions to
validate RCU flags on the listen socket so that it balances with bpf_sk_release()
and update comments as per Martin KaFai Lau's suggestion. One small change to
Daniels suggestion, put "sk = sk2" under "if (sk2 != sk)" to avoid an extra
instruction.

CWE-401 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime

The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, which slowly consumes remaining memory.
