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

udp: clear skb->dev before running a sockmap verdict

On the UDP receive path skb->dev is repurposed as dev_scratch (the
truesize/state cache set by udp_set_dev_scratch()), through the
union { struct net_device *dev; unsigned long dev_scratch; } in sk_buff.

When a UDP socket is in a sockmap, sk_data_ready is
sk_psock_verdict_data_ready(), which calls udp_read_skb() -> recv_actor()
(sk_psock_verdict_recv) to run the attached SK_SKB verdict program in softirq.
If that program calls a socket-lookup helper (bpf_sk_lookup_tcp/udp,
bpf_skc_lookup_tcp), bpf_skc_lookup() does:

if (skb->dev)
caller_net = dev_net(skb->dev);

skb->dev still holds the dev_scratch value (a non-NULL integer), so dev_net()
dereferences it as a struct net_device * and the kernel takes a general
protection fault on a non-canonical address in softirq:

Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x1010000800004a0

The rmem charge that dev_scratch accounted for is released by skb_recv_udp() on
dequeue, just above, so the scratch is dead by the time recv_actor() runs. Clear
skb->dev so bpf_skc_lookup() falls back to sock_net(skb->sk), which
skb_set_owner_sk_safe() set just above.
