It is not harmless\non the accept() path. tipc_accept() creates the pre-allocated child\nsocket with tipc_sk_create(net, new_sock, 0, kern); on failure it leaves\nnew_sock->sk dangling and new_sock->ops non-NULL, and do_accept() then\nfput()s the new file, so __sock_release() -> tipc_release() runs\nlock_sock(new_sock->sk) on the freed sk -- a use-after-free write of the\nsk_lock spinlock.\n\ntipc_release() already guards this exact \"failed accept() releases a\npre-allocated child\" case with \"if (sk == NULL) return 0;\", but the\nguard is bypassed because tipc_sk_create() left sock->sk non-NULL\n(dangling) rather than NULL.\n\nClear sock->sk on the failed-insert path so the existing tipc_release()\nNULL check fires and the use-after-free is avoided.\n\nThe tipc_sk_insert() failure is reached when the per-netns socket\nrhashtable hits its max_size (tsk_rht_params.max_size = 1048576, ~2M\nelements) -- i.e. once a netns holds ~2M TIPC sockets every insert\nreturns -E2BIG.\n\n BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in lock_sock_nested (net/core/sock.c:3839)\n Write of size 8 at addr ffff8880047cdc38 by task init/1\n lock_sock_nested
