CVE-2024-38596

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

af_unix: Fix data races in unix_release_sock/unix_stream_sendmsg

A data-race condition has been identified in af_unix. In one data path,
the write function unix_release_sock() atomically writes to
sk->sk_shutdown using WRITE_ONCE. However, on the reader side,
unix_stream_sendmsg() does not read it atomically. Consequently, this
issue is causing the following KCSAN splat to occur:

	BUG: KCSAN: data-race in unix_release_sock / unix_stream_sendmsg

The line numbers are related to commit dd5a440a31fa ("Linux 6.9-rc7").

Commit e1d09c2c2f57 ("af_unix: Fix data races around sk->sk_shutdown.")
addressed a comparable issue in the past regarding sk->sk_shutdown.
However, it overlooked resolving this particular data path.
This patch only offending unix_stream_sendmsg() function, since the
other reads seem to be protected by unix_state_lock() as discussed in

CWE-362 Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

The product contains a concurrent code sequence that requires temporary, exclusive access to a shared resource, but a timing window exists in which the shared resource can be modified by another code sequence operating concurrently.
