+Subject: mqueue: fix a use-after-free in sys_mq_notify()
+
+From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com>
+
+commit f991af3daabaecff34684fd51fac80319d1baad1 upstream.
+
+The retry logic for netlink_attachskb() inside sys_mq_notify()
+is nasty and vulnerable:
+
+1) The sock refcnt is already released when retry is needed
+2) The fd is controllable by user-space because we already
+ release the file refcnt
+
+so we when retry but the fd has been just closed by user-space
+during this small window, we end up calling netlink_detachskb()
+on the error path which releases the sock again, later when
+the user-space closes this socket a use-after-free could be
+triggered.
+
+Setting 'sock' to NULL here should be sufficient to fix it.
