Linux kernel source tree
syzbot was able to crash one host with the following stack trace :
kasan: GPF could be caused by NULL-ptr deref or user memory access
general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN
CPU: 0 PID: 8625 Comm: syz-executor4 Not tainted 4.20.0+ #8
RIP: 0010:dev_net include/linux/netdevice.h:2169 [inline]
RIP: 0010:icmp6_send+0x116/0x2d30 net/ipv6/icmp.c:426
icmpv6_send
smack_socket_sock_rcv_skb
security_sock_rcv_skb
sk_filter_trim_cap
__sk_receive_skb
dccp_v6_do_rcv
release_sock
This is because a RX packet found socket owned by user and
was stored into socket backlog. Before leaving RCU protected section,
skb->dev was cleared in __sk_receive_skb(). When socket backlog
was finally handled at release_sock() time, skb was fed to
smack_socket_sock_rcv_skb() then icmp6_send()
We could fix the bug in smack_socket_sock_rcv_skb(), or simply
make icmp6_send() more robust against such possibility.
In the future we might provide to icmp6_send() the net pointer
instead of infering it.
Fixes:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
