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

selinux: avoid sk_socket dereference in selinux_sctp_bind_connect()

selinux_sctp_bind_connect() dereferences sk->sk_socket to pass a
struct socket * to selinux_socket_bind() and
selinux_socket_connect_helper().  However, when the hook is invoked
from the ASCONF softirq path (sctp_process_asconf), there is no file
reference guaranteeing that sk->sk_socket is non-NULL.  The setsockopt
callers (bindx, connectx, set_primary, sendmsg connect) hold a file
reference and are not affected.

Both selinux_socket_bind() and selinux_socket_connect_helper()
immediately resolve sock->sk, never using the struct socket * for
anything else.  Refactor the inner logic into helpers that take a
struct sock * directly so that selinux_sctp_bind_connect() never needs
to touch sk->sk_socket at all.
