CVE-2024-56601

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

net: inet: do not leave a dangling sk pointer in inet_create()

sock_init_data() attaches the allocated sk object to the provided sock
object. If inet_create() fails later, the sk object is freed, but the
sock object retains the dangling pointer, which may create use-after-free
later.

Clear the sk pointer in the sock object on error.

CWE-416 Use After Free

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
